Positioning:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. If you're using hurdles, place them in a line in front of you at a distance you are comfortable with.
3. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or bring them in front for balance.
Movement Instructions:
1. Preparation: Slightly bend your knees and engage your core. Position your arms in front of you for balance.
2. Jump Up: Push through your feet and jump upward from a squat position. Use your arms to help generate momentum by swinging them upwards as you leap.
3. Land Softly: As you land, focus on bending your knees to absorb the impact. Aim to land softly on the balls of your feet.
4. Repeat: Immediately go into another jump after landing. Maintain a rhythmic pace, ensuring you jump for a set duration or number of repetitions.
5. Posture: Keep your back straight and head up throughout the exercise to maintain balance and form.
Tips for Beginners:
- Start with smaller jumps to feel comfortable with the movement.
- Focus on landing softly to reduce strain on your joints.
- Gradually increase the height and distance of your jumps as you gain confidence.
