Broad Jump

step by step guide:

  1. Load your legs by bending your knees and moving your hips backward. Simultaneously bring your hands backward.

  2. Keep your chest and shoulders up as you descend

  3. Explode forward by extending your knees and hips while throwing your hands forward.

  4. If you’re only doing 1 rep try to stick the landing. If doing multiple reps, then after you land immediately try to launch yourself forward again. Repeat for specified number of reps

  5. It helps to measure your result each time to monitor progress.

Common mistakes:

  1. Not giving each jump maximum effort. In order to get any benefit from this exercise, it must be done with maximal intent.

  2. Jumping too high. Focus should be on jumping far.

  3. Bending at the back instead of bending at the hips. Chest and shoulders should stay up, not slouched down.
