HOP IT OUT!!

Science has proven the benefit of “jumping”. It’s good for the bones, muscles, nerve conduction, cognition, stamina, power, and longevity. (Ask me more about that)

BUT, did you know “jumping” doesn’t have to be big, bold, and threatening? Simple hops will provide the same benefit without the risk of injury or falling.

You can still get your heart rate up and reap the reward of “power” moves like big jumps with these smaller movements. Make sure to include motions in all three planes.

For now, complete all 7 of these moves for 30 seconds each; 3 rounds.

*Note: your calves WILL feel this. That’s normal and expected*
