Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid jumping too hard or too loudly. Instead, try to land softly on your feet. Bend your knees and ankles slightly upon landing to lessen the impact.
  • Avoid bouncing too high. Only jump, or skip, as high as necessary.
  • Avoid bending your knees too much during the exercise.
