Technique

Start with small, controlled forward bounds using both legs. Gradually increase the distance and height of each bound while maintaining proper form. Build up to maximum effort over the set distance or duration.

Starting Position

Begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged.

Finishing Position

Complete the progressive bounding sequence with maximum effort while maintaining proper form.

Form Cues

Start small, gradually increase distance, maintain form, control the movement

Common Mistakes

Starting too high, not maintaining form, losing rhythm, poor progression

Progression Tips

Increase final bound distance, extend duration, add weight, or perform single-leg bounds.

Regression Tips

Reduce progression rate, start with lower intensity, or practice basic hops.

Safety Notes

Stop if you experience pain in the ankles, knees, or hips. Maintain proper form to avoid injury. This exercise requires good lower body strength and coordination.
