Exercise Description:
To perform the exercise, you would begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Then, bend your knees slightly and swing your arms back behind you. As you swing your arms forward, use the momentum to jump off the ground and clear an imaginary gap in front of you. Land softly on the balls of your feet and immediately repeat the movement.
This exercise is a great way to improve lower body strength, power, and coordination. It can also help to improve cardiovascular endurance and increase the range of motion in the hips and legs. Additionally, the jumping motion can help to improve balance and stability.
