Aquabag Scissor Jumps

Video coming soon...

The aquabag scissor jumps workout is a dynamic exercise that targets the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.

The aquabag’s unique design adds resistance and stability, making it an effective tool for engaging these primary muscle groups.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the aquabag in front of your chest with both hands.
Bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position, keeping your back straight and your chest lifted.
From the squat position, explosively jump up as high as you can, extending your legs and arms fully.
While in the air, scissor your legs, bringing one leg forward and the other leg back.
Land softly on the balls of your feet, returning to the squat position and immediately jumping again to start the next repetition.

Start with a proper warm-up to prepare your muscles for the aquabag scissor jumps. This can include dynamic stretches and light cardio exercises like jogging or jumping jacks.
Focus on engaging your quads by pushing through your heels and driving your knees up as you jump. This will help you maximize the power and intensity of each jump.
To activate your glutes, squeeze them at the top of each jump. This will not only strengthen your glute muscles but also help improve your overall form and stability.
Ensure proper form by keeping your core engaged throughout the exercise. This will help you maintain balance and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
To target your hamstrings, focus on landing softly and bending your knees slightly as you come down from each jump. This will engage your hamstrings and protect your joints.
Don’t forget to work your calves by pushing off the balls of your feet during each jump. This will give your calves a good workout and improve your overall lower body strength.
Remember to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. Pushing yourself is important, but it’s equally important to avoid overexertion and potential injuries.
