  4. Jump straight up as high as you can, extending your legs and arms fully.

  7. Repeat the jump immediately, aiming for a smooth and continuous motion.

Hydrovest Scissors Jump Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the entire Scissors jump exercise. Engage your abdominal muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine, allowing for better balance and control.
  2. Ensure proper alignment of your legs by keeping your knees slightly bent and tracking over your toes. This will activate your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, maximizing the engagement of your leg muscles during the exercise.
  3. Generate power from your legs by pushing off the ground with explosive force. Imagine driving your feet into the floor, propelling yourself upwards with each jump. This powerful leg drive will not only enhance the intensity of the exercise but also improve your vertical jump ability over time.
  4. As you jump, focus on landing softly and quietly, absorbing the impact through your legs. This controlled landing will not only reduce the risk of injury but also increase the effectiveness of the exercise by challenging your leg muscles to stabilize and control the movement.
  5. Challenge yourself by increasing the speed and height of your Scissors jumps gradually. By continuously pushing your limits, you will not only improve your leg strength and endurance but also enhance your overall athletic performance. Remember, progress takes time, so stay consistent and trust in your ability to achieve your fitness goals!
