Split Squat Switches

Technique

How to perform Split Squat Switches

1. Stand tall, then make a small jump into a split stance with one foot forward and the other back.
2. Land with both knees bent and let the hips lower slightly to absorb the contact.
3. Drive upward again and exchange the front and back feet while airborne.
4. Land in the opposite split stance with the knees tracking with the feet and the torso controlled.
5. Continue alternating at a rhythm that lets you absorb each landing rather than locking the knees.
6. Finish in a stable stance when the set is complete.
