Hints
Begin in a standing position with your feet facing forward and spaced shoulder-width apart. Ensure there's a gentle bend in your knees for cushioning and optimal movement. With your elbows bent, extend your forearms forward to help maintain balance throughout the movement. As you initiate the exercise, perform light hops, emphasizing the control of each landing to minimize the impact. Focus on keeping the hops consistent and not elevating too much off the ground. Your primary goal is to land as softly and quietly as possible, absorbing the impact with your bent knees.
Common Mistakes
Jumping too high can increase the impact on your joints. Remember, the aim is to keep the hops low and controlled. Locking the knees should be avoided. Always maintain a slight bend in your knees to cushion the landing and reduce strain. Leaning too far forward or backward can cause imbalance. Stay centered and upright, using your forearms for added stability.
Breathing
Inhale as you prepare to hop, and exhale upon landing. A rhythmic breathing pattern helps maintain a steady pace and ensures adequate oxygen supply to your muscles.
