Bumday Sunday!

Exercise #3: Ski Jumps

The third instalment of Bumday Sunday is the plyometric exercise Ski Jumps. Ski Jumps are
great for working the outer hips and will also improve balance.

Here is how to perform Ski Jumps:

Starting Position

- begin by standing with feet shoulder width apart

- using your arms to help power the movement, take a wide jump to one side
- land on one foot while allowing the free leg to pass slightly behind the grounded leg for balance

Secondary Position

Ending Position

- continue jumping side to side until the desired number of repetitions is completed (one rep would be completed after having landed on both legs)

This exercise can be altered to change the difficulty. If a beginner, touch the free leg lightly on the ground, as pictured above. As balance and strength improves, this movement can be
performed without the aid of touching down the free leg.
