Instructions
Positioning:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
If you're using hurdles, place them in a line in front of you at a distance you are comfortable with.
Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or bring them in front for balance.
Movement Instructions:
Preparation: Slightly bend your knees and engage your core. Position your arms in front of you for balance.
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.
Land Softly: As you land, focus on bending your knees to absorb the impact. Aim to land softly on the balls of your feet.
Repeat: Immediately go into another jump after landing. Maintain a rhythmic pace, ensuring you jump for a set duration or number of repetitions.
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.
