1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed at your sides.
- Keep your torso upright.
2. Movement:
- Lift your right foot and hop forward, landing on your right foot.
- Immediately lift your left foot and hop forward, landing on your left foot.
- Alternate hopping from foot to foot in a smooth, continuous motion.
3. Technique:
- Ensure that you land softly by bending your knees slightly upon landing to absorb impact.
- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.
- Use your arms for balance by swinging them gently as you hop.
4. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10 to 20 hops, or perform the exercise for a set period like 30 seconds to 1 minute.
5. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare to jump and exhale as you land.
6. Tips for Beginners:
- Start off slowly to get the hang of the movement before increasing speed.
- Practice on a soft surface if possible, such as grass or a mat, to minimize joint impact.
- If needed, use a nearby wall or railing for support while you gain confidence.
