Starting Position
- begin with bent legs (90 degrees) in the push-up position
- the feet are on their balls and hip width apart
- position the hands below your shoulders, arms almost fully stretched
- hold the back straight
Correct Execution
- push yourself off the ground with strength with both feet
- the bent legs move up up, the soles point to the ceiling
- the hands do not move
- keep the arms bent a bit
- land softly on the balls of your feet
- go on to the next jump
- do several ones
tips for the workout
- if you push yourself off the ground with even more power or only use one arm, you can impede the exercise (see 2nd video)
- do not forget to switch sides after some time
- you can also use weight cuffs
- if you want to put the focus on the obliques, try the Plank Mogul Jumps
