Topic description

Place the elasticated band at mid-thigh height, stand wide (more than shoulder-width apart), feet facing forwards, arms supported on the hips, crossed on the chest/behind the head or in front at chest height, knees slightly bent (more than 90 degrees at the knee joint). In the jump, bring the legs together to form a narrower stance, always maintaining the lower basic position with slightly bent legs. The constant change of the two foot positions (wide and narrow) can take place on the spot or by means of double jumps and a forward movement (e.g. integrating a running ladder).

Attention:
Landing and holding position with the whole foot on the floor. Keep your back straight at all times.

Lighten:
Do not lower your body too low (greater angle in the knees); smaller jumps (open your legs less).

Harden:
Hold additional weight (on your shoulders, in front of you or with hanging arms in your hands); larger jumps (open your legs more); lower basic position (bend your knees more, squat).

Material

1 elasticated rubber band
1 running ladder

1 weight vest/weight disc/(medicine) ball/sandbag/1-2 dumbbells ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
