EXERCISE NOTES:
Switch lunge: Get in a lunge position then jump and land in a lunge with the opposite leg leg forward. If you cannot perform this movement, do fast reverse lunges. The goal is to make sure your legs are 90 degrees in each lunge and to move fast.
Narrow jumps: With feet together or fist width apart, sit back like your sitting in a chair keeping your knees behind your toes and JUMP as high as you can. Repeat.
Squat hold: Hold a squat position. Add weight for more intensity and make sure to keep your chest up and hands OFF the legs. NO CHEATING.
Side to side ski: Refer to picture. Begin with feet together. Jump laterally pushing off with left foot and land on right foot. Then jump off the right foot, land on the left. Repeat motion for specified reps.
Curtsy lunge: Refer to picture. Lunge back in a diagonal postition as if you were going to curtsy and get as low as you can keeping your chest up. Repeat to the other side.
