jumping lunges

Airborne leg switches

Jumping lunges are a plyometric exercise combining the standard lunge with an explosive jump.

From a lunge position, you spring upward and switch leg positions mid-air, landing with the opposite foot forward.

The movement builds lower-body power, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance: My trainer added jumping lunges to really burn out my quads.
