TECHNIQUE: Place the BOSU with the ball side up. Stand feet hip width straddling the BOSU. Jump up into the air and top both feet on the BOSU. Land back down hinging the weight back into your hips with feet in the same position. Use your arm as to tap the center of the BOSU then repeat the sequence. ADVANTAGES: The BOSU Saddle Jump provides varying stability to the legs in an aerobic exercise. This movement when performed fast with high reps is a great for cardio. FAULTS: Common faults include weight shifting forward during landing, and chest falling forward. Even though the movement is unloaded it is important to reinforce proper movement patterns. SCALING: Movement can be scaled up by performing a lateral alternating plyometric lunge tap. This will add require more technique and control.
