How to Do Frog Hops

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the frog hops.

How to do it

1. Stand with your hands behind your head, and squat down keeping your torso upright and your head up. This will be your starting position.
2. Jump forward several feet, avoiding jumping unnecessarily high. As your feet contact the ground, absorb the impact through your legs, and jump again. Repeat this action 5-10 times.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
