• As you become more familiar with the different angles. Add complexity. Alternate from side to side. Randomize the angles.

Multiplane Lunges

Landing technique practice. Focus on timing and landing softly.

• Work with a small jump. Balls of the feet contact the ground first, then heels.

Squat Walking

SuperSet #1

•Jump upward onto the box / bench. Land softly and squarely on top of the object.

• Jump down to the ground without expending excess effort. Focus on completely absorbing the landing.

• Fall to the side, push off your standing leg + swing your free leg to carry you through the jump.
• Land softly on you free leg first and find stability. Repeat.

Lateral Swing Jumps

• Focus on keeping your spine long and shoulders back in your squat position.
• Stay low in your wide stance squat. Shift your weight from side to side. 
• Use your hands in contact with the ground for additional support. Pull your hips down to increase hip mobility.

Squat Lateral Shifting

Stay low or elevate your hips. Focus on a smooth transition from hands to feet - land softly, no impact.

Started in my usual way, but then added music to the workout and that transformed the moves into more expressive movement patterns and explored some different shapes within the sets.. super enjoyable!

Enjoyed that, I've got spaghetti for legs now 🤣

Great cardio from the plyo and the supersets and squat series were sneaky-challenging and fun.

Great workout. Sadly the offline download works only for half the exercises, and the next exercise tap is almost impossible to find...
