Engage the core and set the shoulders to stabilise your torso. <\/li><li>Keeping the arms in this position, quickly jump the legs into a lunge, dropping the back knee as close to the floor as possible. <\/li><li>Stabilise the body before jumping back up and switching legs to drop into the opposite side lunge. <\/li><li>Repeat alternately for time or reps.

The jumping lunge requires you have rapid hip extension while the arms are overhead \u2013 both of these demands need a higher contribution from the core and shoulder girdle to maintain balance.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you are new to this exercise, it is common to experience small losses of balance when landing; or a forward movement of the arms during the jump. Both of these observations may indicate a loss of core\/shoulder control. While further engaging the core and setting the shoulders may provide temporary stability, a better strategy is to reduce the size of the jump and keep the arms out to the side. This will allow you to focus on maintaining a strong core with right balance \u2013 as you gain stability, start to take the arms further overhead and increase the range of your jump.<\/li><li>Finally, don\u2019t forget that the more aligned you are vertically (with gravity) the more efficient you will be. This means arms straight overhead, dropping the hips vertically down and not over-striding with the lunge. This will result in lower fatigue, reduced risk of injury, higher reps\/duration, and better exercise performance.&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 with arms overhead\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/193045335?h=408d328fba&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\">We just covered the jumping lunge with arms overhead.
