32. Split Squat Jump
The split squat jump is another high-impact exercise that you should wean into instead of using in a warm-up routine. It’s great at keeping your hip joints and knees strong, as well as toning your calves and abdominal. Start with small jumps and work your way up to higher ones, at your comfort level, of course. Step with your left foot forward until you’re in a lunge position. Make sure that your feet aren’t too far apart; your knees should be at 90-degree angles. Push up with your feet and jump into the air as high as possible, swinging your arms to help you gain momentum. While in the air, switch your right leg to the front and left leg behind you. Land softly back in the lunge position.
