Hurdle Hop

How to do it

Set up a line of low hurdles spaced one comfortable jump apart and stand facing the first one with feet hip width apart.
Bend the knees and hips into a quarter squat to load the quadriceps and glutes before each jump.
Swing the arms upward and extend through the hips, knees, and ankles to hop both feet over the hurdle together.
Land softly on the balls of the feet with knees slightly bent, absorbing the impact through the calves before the next hop.
Keep the chest up and eyes forward through each hop rather than looking down at the hurdle.
Move from one hurdle to the next with a brief, controlled pause on landing before driving into the following rep.
