Cardio Lunge with Hop (Bodyweight)

Also known as: Cardio Lunge with Hop (Bodyweight).

A lunge with a small hop back to a narrow stance.

How to perform this exercise

Start in a controlled split-stance lunge with the front foot flat, rear forefoot grounded and the rear knee hovering above the floor. Keep the torso tall with arms positioned naturally for balance.
Push upward out of the lunge, bring the feet close underneath the body for a light hop, then step back into the same split-stance lunge and absorb the return through the hips and knees. Repeat on the opposite side in a separate set; do not add an unsupported high-knee drive or airborne leg switch.
