5 Cardio Jump Workouts

The following are the cardio jump exercises that you can do at home with minimal equipment!

• Jump on a spot
• Wide leg jumps
• Half star jumps
• Toe tap jumps
• Side-to-side single leg jumps

Jump on a spot

1. Take one or two preliminary steps. This helps even if you jump straight into the air as it doesn’t send horizontal jumps, adding some lateral steps to your jump routine can help you add some extra jumps to your steps. The energy generated during these steps can help create an extra upward lift that can add an inch or two to a vertical jump
2. Use the power of both your legs to push off the ground, even if you’re taking a few steps before you hop.
3. Repeat multiple sets for best results.

Wide leg jumps

1. With your feet hip-width apart, squat down slightly.
2. Explode and jump, using your glutes, quads, and hamstrings to generate power.
3. Land with bent knees to protect joints and go back squat to prepare next jump.
4. Repeat multiple sets for best results.

Half star jumps

1. Start by standing up straight with your arms by your side and your feet hip-width apart.
2. Bend your knees and jump up.
3. Your feet should be separated.
4. When your feet hit the ground, jump straight up, moving in the opposite direction so you land in the starting position.
5. Repeat multiple sets for best results.

Toe tap jumps

1. Stand facing a step or a platform.
2. Touch the step with the right toe, jump up and switch feet in mid-air, touch the step with the left foot.
3. Alternately tap your toes as quickly and safely as possible.
4. Repeat multiple steps for best results.

Side-to-side single leg jumps

1. Stand with your legs hip-width apart.
2. Switch to standing on one leg and squat slightly for strength.
3. Spread your standing feet apart while working your core and leg muscles, and use the power of your arms to jump sideways to the other leg.
4. Gently land on the other foot in a slightly squat position, with the hip, knee, and ankle aligned with the foot.
5. Repeat for multiple sets for best results.
