Tips

Warm-up

Start with a warm-up to prepare your muscles for the exercise, including dynamic stretching or light cardio.

Engage your core

Keep your core muscles engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper alignment and protect your lower back.

Maintain proper plank form

hen in plank position, ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. Keep your wrists aligned under your shoulders and avoid sagging or arching your back.

Land softly

When jumping your feet in and out, aim for a soft landing on your toes to minimize the impact on your joints.

Control your breathing

Establish a consistent breathing pattern. Inhale as you jump your feet out and exhale as you jump them back in.

Focus on depth in the squat

When jumping your feet to the outside of your hands, try to achieve a deep squat position while keeping your chest lifted and your back straight.

Keep your weight balanced

As you jump into the deep squat, ensure your weight is evenly distributed between your feet and hands, avoiding excessive pressure on either.

Modify if needed

If you find the jumping motion challenging, step one foot at a time instead of jumping both feet together.

Start slow

Begin with a slower pace to perfect your form, then increase the speed as you become more comfortable with the movement.

Incorporate into your routine

Include Plank Frog Jumps as part of your regular workout routine to improve core strength, cardiovascular fitness, and overall body coordination.
