Hurdle Hops

Hurdle hops are plyometric exercises designed to increase agility and speed.

Instructions

• Set up a series of hurdles or markers in a straight line.
• Stand facing the first hurdle, about a foot away.
• Bend your knees slightly, swing your arms back, and jump over the hurdle with both feet.
• Land softly on the balls of your feet and immediately jump over the next hurdle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not landing softly, leading to potential injury.
• Not using arms effectively to aid in jumping.
• Starting too close to the hurdle, which can alter form.
