Scissors Jumps are a powerful plyometric exercise that build strength and endurance in your lower body. At FitnessTracker, we recommend them for athletes looking to improve power output, stability, and coordination—all without equipment.
Instructions
- Begin in a lunge position with one foot forward and your rear knee just above the ground.
- Jump as high as possible, swinging your arms to help drive upward.
- While airborne, switch your legs midair so the opposite foot lands forward.
- Absorb the landing by returning to a lunge position, then immediately repeat.
