Broad Jump - Arms Behind Back
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: In a standing position, place your hands behind your back. Hinge forward at the waist as you bend your knees creating momentum to then jump forward as far as you can. Control the landing and repeat the process for as many reps as prescribed.
- FEEL: You should feel your lower body muscles working as you jump forwards.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your arms behind your back throughout the whole exercise. Work on a soft landing by absorbing the landing force in knees and your hips by bending them as comfortable.
