Lunge Pulses + Forward Fold Jump
Start with your feet together, arms at your chest. Step one foot backward and bend both legs to 90-degree angles for a double lunge. Pulse in the lunge twice, then straighten both legs and bend over your front leg to touch the ground. From there, bend both legs again in a double lunge, then spring up in to a small jump. Repeat this move on both legs, six times on each side.
Hip Hinge Pulse + Jump
Begin in a squat position, legs bent slightly, knees hip-width apart, your arms pointed at the ground in front of you. Pulse into a squat three times, using the momentum from the third squat to launch into a small jump. Land your jump in a squat position and finish by coming to a full stand before repeating the exercise. Repeat this move six times.
