Frog Hops

What is Frog Hops? Frog hops are a plyometric exercise that involves explosive jumping movements similar to a frog's leap. This exercise targets multiple muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, and core, while also providing cardiovascular benefits.

Tutorial

1. Start in a squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands touching the floor in front of you.
2. Explosively jump upward as high as you can, extending your legs and arms outwards.
3. Land softly back into the squat position, absorbing the impact by bending your knees.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions or time.

Common Mistakes

• Allowing the knees to collapse inward during the jump, which can lead to injury.

• Not landing softly, which can put excess strain on the joints. - Failing to engage the core, leading to poor form and reduced effectiveness of the exercise.

Tips for Better Results

• Focus on proper form and technique to maximize the benefits and reduce the risk of injury.

• Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to stabilize your body. - Land on the balls of your feet to absorb the impact and protect your joints.
