Exercise Benefits
Jumping lunges can help you gain muscle mass, mainly in your glutes, and can also help you firm and tone your butt and legs. Since jumping or vertical movement is involved you also get a great cardio boost from this exercise, making it an awesome calorie burner.

Sets And Reps
If you’re a beginner practice your form first with reverse lunges. Add the jumps gradually and do as many jumping lunges as you can without losing form. For a more complete lower body workout pair jumping lunges with exercises that add lateral movement, like side lunges or curtsy lunges.
