Build Leg Strength with Pogo Jump

Pogo Jump

Rep Range

Time Based

Hints

Starting with your feet together and a slight bend in your knees emphasizes the use of your calves and ankles for the hop. Placing your hands on your hips provides additional balance and ensures an upright posture throughout the movement. Focus on quick, light hops, emphasizing minimal ground contact time. By keeping the jumps low, you can maintain a faster pace and reduce strain on the joints. Always aim for a soft landing, using the balls of your feet to absorb the impact.

Common Mistakes

Avoid allowing your knees to buckle inwards or pushing them too far forward over your toes. This can cause strain on the knees. Ensure that you're not landing heavily, which can increase the risk of injury. Maintain an upright posture; leaning too far forward or backward can throw off your balance.

Breathing

Inhale as you prepare for the jump and exhale during the upward motion. A rhythmic breathing pattern can help maintain a steady pace and ensure efficient oxygen delivery to the working muscles.
