Groiners Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Groiners focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Begin in a pushup position on the floor. This will be your starting position.
- Using both legs, jump forward landing with your feet next to your hands. Keep your head up as you do so.
- Return to the starting position and immediately repeat the movement, continuing for 10-20 repetitions.
Exercise FAQ
What’s a common mistake people make here?
Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
What should I do if I feel it in the wrong place?
Check your setup, slow down, and reduce weight. If discomfort is sharp or in a joint, stop and choose an easier variation. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
Does grip or stance matter?
Yes—small changes can shift what you feel and how stable you are. Pick the most controlled position and keep it consistent while you learn the movement. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
