Instructions
1. Place a series of hurdles or objects in a line with enough space between them to safely jump over. The height can vary, but it should be challenging without risking injury.
2. Stand in front of the first hurdle with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Lower into a slight squat position to prepare for the jump. Keep your chest up and core engaged.
4. Explode upwards with your legs to jump over the hurdle, swinging your arms to help generate momentum.
5. Land softly on the balls of your feet after clearing the hurdle, and immediately dip into a squat to prepare for the next jump.
6. Continue jumping over each hurdle in succession. Try to minimize the time spent on the ground between jumps.
7. Upon landing after the final hurdle, decelerate smoothly to a stop to complete the exercise.
8. Rest for a moment, then reset the hurdles if necessary and prepare for the next set.
Tips: Focus on landing with control and stability, absorbing the impact through your legs with a soft knee bend. Breathing is important; try to exhale as you jump and inhale as you land. As you advance, you can increase the height of the hurdles or decrease the time between jumps to make the exercise more challenging.
