  4. Remember to keep the balloon out in front of you.
  5. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions or duration.  

Tips

Be sure to keep your abs braced. For more of a challenge, try bending your knees more to hold a static squat. You can also increase tempo of balloon taps; this will require you to think faster (cognitively).

3. Holding this position and hinging forward from the hips, swing your leg out in front of you, straight leg high kick (hip flexion). Immediately, let the leg drop and swing behind you, like a pendulum (hip extension). Keep hips square and glutes engaged.

4. Repeat for desired number of repetitions or duration. Switch legs and repeat.

 

Tips

Keep abs braced during the entire movement. Stabilize hips through dynamic portion of exercise. The swing should be in the sagittal plane. For more of a challenge you can add weight. You can also slow tempo of swing.

Steps

1. Begin by grabbing each end of the two Inertia Wave tubes, pulling them out enough to create some resistance.

2. Step onto the StrongBoard platform with your feet against the sides of the platform handles. Because of the resistance pulling you forward, you can place your feet back about two inches from your normal stance. This will help counter the pull of the Inertia Wave.

3. Keep your body spring-like and stiff at the same time. You should employ flexed ankles, knees, and hips during the Double Dutch method.

4. Hold the end caps of the tube securely. Start by rotating your right hand in a clockwise motion, while rotating your left hand in a counterclockwise motion. Both tubes move independently in an alternating clockwise pattern. The method of Double Dutch is a spring-like oscillated, continuous circular pattern.

5. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions/sets/duration.

 

Tips

Keep your spine erect and abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can squat while performing Double Dutch. You can also go for longer bouts before rest.
