Hurdle One Leg Jumps Tips

  1. Start with a low hurdle to build confidence and gradually increase the height as you progress.
  2. Focus on driving through your quads to generate power for the jump, rather than relying solely on your calf muscles.
  3. Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
  4. Land softly on the same leg you jumped off, absorbing the impact with your quads and minimizing stress on your joints.
  5. Use your arms to help propel yourself forward and upward, swinging them in sync with your leg movements for added momentum.
  6. Practice single-leg squats to strengthen your quads and improve stability, which will benefit your performance in one leg jumps.
  7. Don’t forget to warm up before attempting the exercise to increase blood flow to your muscles and reduce the risk of strains or pulls.
