How to do jumping lunges
- Stand in an area with enough legroom and a non-slippery surface.Â
- Place your right foot forward and left foot back and lower yourself into a lunge. Place your hands on your hips and ensure your core is activated and your spine remains in a nice and neutral position. This is your starting position.
- Jump up using both legs.Â
- While in the air, switch your legs so the left one is in front and land back down in a lunge.
- Repeat 5-10 times in 2-3 sets - as your ability allows.

- Reduce fatigueÂ
- Stabilise the patellaÂ
- Relieve painÂ
