Jumping Knee Raise
Muscles worked: Calves, Hamstrings, Glutes, Hips, Quadriceps
Equipment needed: None
Difficulty: 5/10 – Moderate
How to
1. Stand up straight with your arms to the side.
2. Bend your knees a little and jump in the air bringing your knees as close to your chest as possible.
3. Land with slightly your knees bent as opposed to straight legs to avoid injury.
Tips
This move is probably best done outside unless you are working out in a room with high ceilings – you don’t want to bang your head.
Make it Harder
You might be tempted to pick up some dumbbells to make this move harder but the impact of landing will jar your shoulders and could cause injury. If you want to add weights, you’ll need some strap on ankle weights. Otherwise just repeat the move quickly and with high repititions.
