    Tutorial: Lateral Jumps

    27th August 2018
    Tutorial: Lateral Jumps / Seitliche Sprünge

    Lateral Jumps is the perfect exercise to strengthen your legs and improve the stabilization of both hips and trunk. Additionally, you’ll be adding a cardio exercise to your workout routine and controlling your center of gravity.

    Lateral Jumps increase the coordination between the torso and legs, and it helps in stabilizing the hip, knees and feet joints. This exercise also promotes agility and weight transfer through the alternated jumps from one foot to the other.

    Technically, this exercise is also an excellent exercise to prevent injuries because it helps you stabilizing your knees and feet, making your ankles stronger, thus preventing sprains.

    WHAT

    • Lateral Jumps is a functional exercise that promotes lateral stabilization.
    • This exercise has a cardio element and, at the same time, demands a lot from the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.
    • Promotes the stabilization of your trunk and activates the structures in your body that control your hips.
    • It activates the trunk muscles and stimulates balance.

     HOW

    • Stand beside the bar; it should be suspended and close to the ground.
    • Start performing the exercise slowly.
    • Bend your knee and move your feet over the bar, transferring your bodyweight to the opposite side.
    • Now that you already have the weight over the feet that crossed the bar, bend the knee of the opposite leg and close your legs.
    • Repeat the movement.
    • Now that you’re more familiarized with the movement, start increasing the speed. In no time you’ll feel like you were rollerblading.

    WHY

    • Allows you to control your center of gravity and improves speed.
    • It’s a good cardio exercise.
    • Strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.
    • Activates and stabilizes the muscles that control the trunk and hips.
    • Gives you more balance and prevents falls.
