EXERCISE · DUMBBELL

Weighted Split Jump

Legs

Start in a split stance, one foot forward and one back, a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Drop straight down into a shallow lunge, then jump up and switch your leg position in the air, landing with the opposite foot forward. Keep your torso upright throughout rather than leaning over your front leg, and let your arms hang naturally rather than swinging them for extra momentum. Land softly through the middle of your feet with both knees bending to absorb the impact before your next jump. The dumbbells add load without changing your hand positioning, so grip them loosely enough that they do not throw off your balance.
