Froggers
Primary muscles worked: Legs, Core
Description:
· Position the body in a full squat position with the feet slightly apart and the thighs horizontally to the ground. The lower back is gently arched, the head is centered, and the chin is slightly raised. The arms are extended in front of the body.
· Inhale deeply while sweeping the arms backward and then quickly forward, thus developing momentum to help the legs explode from the full squat position at a 60-degree angle as the arms are thrown above the head. Upon reaching the apex of the jump, prepare to land. Upon landing, lower the body into the same position (full squat) as when the exercise started.
· The movement will carry you slightly forward, thus emphasizing strength in both the vertical and the horizontal plane.
· Upon reestablishing proper squat form, immediately repeat the jump.
