Hi Deep Fried Fit Fans (try saying that really fast, five times),

I’m back from my Destin trip and it was so beautiful and definitely a much needed vacation. My friends had their dream wedding in this gorgeous location and I am so happy for them. It only felt like yesterday, I helped Tony propose to his wife Diem on a white Christmas Day two years ago. Gosh, time flies.

Jumping Switch Lunges

Watch: Killer Switch Lunges

It’s a fluid motion when jumping and switching legs. Takes a few tries to get the hang of it, but this is a really great one for legs. You push off hard and switch legs in one smooth motion. Use the bar for balance and timing.
