London Bridges

What is London Bridges? London Bridges is a plyometric exercise that targets the lower body, specifically the glutes, quads, and hamstrings. It is a challenging and effective exercise that helps improve lower body strength, power, and agility.

Tutorial

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by your sides.
2. Lower into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
3. Explosively jump up as high as you can.
4. While in the air, tuck your knees up towards your chest.
5. Land softly back into the squat position and immediately explode back up into another jump.
6. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

• Allowing the knees to collapse inwards during the jump.

• Not fully extending the hips and knees at the top of the jump. - Landing with stiff legs, which can lead to injury.

• Using only the ankles to push off instead of engaging the entire lower body.

Tips for Better Results

• Focus on proper form and technique to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.

• Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to maintain stability. - Land softly on the balls of your feet to reduce impact on your joints.

• Start with a lower number of repetitions and gradually increase as your strength improves.
