Question Tuck Jumps or Air Jacks!

I find tuck jumps to be mega hard and really have to push myself , but I could do air jacks all day long (well, not literally).

I have a huge dread factor with Tuck Jumps!

So which do you think is hardest Tuck Jumps or Air Jacks?

I think Air Jacks are much more difficult. I can't seem to get my legs as high as Cathe can and they hurt my inner thighs. But tuck jumps on the other hand I think are great. Love them!

It must be how our bodies are built.

I have a HUGE dread factor when I do tuck jumps.

Personally, I think it has something to core strenth with tuck jumps.

I love love love air jacks! I look forward to them.

But tuck jumps - I really struggle with form!

Air jacks just kill my groin. I do them, but definitely can't get my legs as far apart as the crew. Tuck jumps are tough, but I like them! They took me a long time to master, I must admit, but now they make me feel so powerful. I have a hard time with plié jacks though. I can get through about 16, and then my legs want to quit!

I refuse to do Tuck Jumps. I just don't like them, and they are too hard on my body. Air jacks are hard, but somehow easier for me to do.

I am short and feel awkward doing either one. Jacks are a little easier. My legs are not springy enough to tuck and untuck fast enough.

Another vote for Air Jacks. I do tuck jumps but hate them, alot of times I bring my legs up to kick my butt sorta a cheat, or easier tuck. I forget which one exactly but Cathe does these in one her dvds, Kickmax maybe.
