How to perform it

  1. Assume a lunge stance position with one foot forward with the knee bent, and the rear knee nearly touching the ground.
  2. Ensure that the front knee is over the midline of the foot.
  3. Extending through both legs, jump as high as possible, swinging your arms to gain lift.
  4. As you jump, bring your feet together, and move them back to their initial positions as you land.
  5. Absorb the impact by reverting back to the starting position.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Split Jump slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
