Setup: Stand on one leg approximately a foot away from a stable board or platform. Ensure that the board is at a safe height that you can jump onto without risking injury.
Preparation: Lower into a semi-squat position on the standing leg, swinging your arms back to generate momentum.
Action: Explode upwards, swinging your arms forward and upward, and use the power from your leg to propel yourself onto the platform.
Landing: Land softly on the platform with the same foot while the other foot remains off the ground.
Return: Step back down or jump back to the starting position and prepare for the next jump, or switch legs if you're alternating.
Goal: Aim for smooth, controlled motions and a precise landing that maintains balance. Start with a lower platform to perfect your form before attempting higher jumps.
Always ensure safety and proper form to prevent any injuries, and consult with a fitness professional if you are new to plyometric exercises.
