Alternating Lunge Hop
Starting Posture
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, arms at your sides.
How to Exercise
Step forward with your right leg into a lunge position, with your right knee bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep your chest up and core engaged. Push off your right foot and jump up, switching legs in mid-air to land in a lunge position with your left leg forward. Continue alternating legs as you hop forward.
Breath Control
Inhale as you step forward into the lunge position and exhale as you jump and switch legs.
Common errors
Leaning too far forward, allowing the knee to cave inwards, or not fully extending the back leg in the lunge position are common mistakes. Keep proper form to avoid strain on your joints and to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
Weights
You can use dumbbells held at your sides for added resistance.

Comments and tips
Make sure to land softly to reduce impact on your joints. Keep your movements controlled and engage your core for stability. To make it more challenging, add dumbbells to increase resistance.
Cautions
Avoid letting your front knee extend past your toes in the lunge position to prevent injury. Make sure your landing is controlled to avoid any missteps.
