It mostly follows the same mechanics as the squat, except it is performed primarily on one leg at a time. Efficient performance requires right ankle and hip mobility, and a strong core to stabilise the upper body. The jumping lunge places extra demands on the above requirements by adding speed.<\/li><li>Explosive movements are becoming more and more common in gym workouts today. Yet, many people do not have sufficient levels of stability or mobility to perform them without increasing their risk of injury. If you are new to explosive\/jump training, the jumping lunge is a good \u2018entry-level\u2019 exercise, allowing you to build technique slowly and confidently. At its lowest level, it doesn\u2019t require a big jump, and the balance requirement is small enough to ensure a safe landing. As technique improves, you can begin to increase the height of your jump. This will give you the confidence to then try other more complex jumps such as box jumps or long jumps.<\/li><li>One of the attractions of the jumping lunge is that it significantly raises the heart rate, making it popular in high-intensity workouts, such as Tabata. However, fatigue comes at the expense of technique, so be sure that you pay attention to it when performing higher reps of this exercise.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lunge jump\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/193044441?h=04d42b685b&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You have officially mastered the jumping lunge \u2014 now you should jump around some other tutorials here: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-8e79204f-aae4-4aef-bce8-9255353421e5\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/scissor-kicks\">Scissor kicks<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/alternate-dumbbell-shoulder-press\">Alternate dumbbell shoulder press<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/pull-up-with-leg-lift\/(opens%20in%20a%20new%20tab)\">Pull-up with leg lift<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/suspended-prone-tuck\">Suspended Prone Tuck<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/abdominal-row\/\">Abdominal row<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/plank-tutorial\">Plank<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/windscreen-wiper-abs\/\">Windscreen wiper<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/side-scale\/\">Side scale<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/deep-squat-hip-in\/\">Deep squat (hip in)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/back-support-exercise\/\">Back support<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/crab-walk\/\">Crab walk<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/long-jump\/\">Long jump<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evofitness_austria\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-960x422.jpg 960w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-480x211.jpg 480w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-640x281.jpg 640w, https:\/\/evofitness.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/evo-at-blog_en-720x316.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jumping is a leap of faith.
