Ski Jumps

An excellent exercise for those persons who participate in either snow or water skiing.

RIGHT SIDE
keep tucked low throughout keep your feet shoulder width apart avoid turning around in circles
Keeping your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, and staying in the squatted position, jump 90 degrees from left to right, avoiding going around in circles.

With each jump, aim to take off immediately upon landing, with minimal uplift, focus on staying in a tucked skiing position.

You may decide to jump with your feet either close together or in a wide stance, however always take off and land with both feet.

Look at increasing the amount of time you perform this exercise for, aim for a minimum of 20 - 30 seconds with a similiar amount of rest time before you repeat.

As you become fitter, increase the length of time to 30 - 60 seconds maximum, before you rest and stretch your legs.

Repeat as often as you can, making sure you have adequate rest between each exercise session.
