Technique

How to perform Frog Hops

  1. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and rest your hands behind your head without pulling on it.
  2. Bend your hips and knees into a deep crouch while keeping your trunk controlled.
  3. Drive through your legs to jump forward, keeping your hands behind your head.
  4. Land on both feet and bend your hips and knees to absorb the landing.
  5. Use the controlled landing to begin the next forward hop, prioritizing forward travel rather than unnecessary height.
  6. Finish the sequence by settling into a stable two-foot landing.
