1)stationary squat jumps r the same as jump squats
2)side to side twisting lunges,im not suree about this one,is it like the cross body off box lunge,but without the platform u put one leg on??
i googled it but couldnt find anything
sorry i dont hav time 2 try anything else
3)alternating step up jumps r like the ones in air alert,or vjb begginer plyo's, phase 2
its when u hav one leg bent 90 degrees on a chair or platform,and u push off that elevated leg and in the air switch,so the opposte leg is on the platform.

So does anyone know how to do the side to side twisting lunge? And 1 more question, is the alternating lunge similar to the slow tempo lunge just that you do it quicker and with alternating legs??

i did the plyometric 1. u do a lunge, jump up and in mid air switch ur legs. then do another lunge and swith again n keep doin that

I see. So you did the rhythmic alternating lunge jumps. OK I'm going to do that too

Did you just cross out the twisting lunge?

yeh, i just did everything else, its pretty easy apart from the burnout complex. i thought it would be harder but i think phase 1 is harder

yeh the alternating lunges r very good its in phase 1 of begginer plyos
i believe its more of a conditioning excersice,correct me if im wrong
