How to do it

  1. The frog jump is a simple plyometric exercise that develops lower body musculature, strength, and power. As its name suggests, the movement is about hopping in place like a frog. But, despite the simplicity, the activity is challenging and takes some knowledge to perform effectively.
  2. A notable benefit of frog jumps is that you don’t need equipment. The objective is to assume a wider stance, descend, and jump vertically, accelerating quickly from the bottom.
  3. The second benefit of the frog jump is that you recruit more fast-twitch muscle fibers and develop your power. As a result, you become faster, more explosive, and more athletic. Similarly, the frog jump strengthens your lower body, making everyday activities like walking up a flight of stairs more accessible.
  4. We recommend including the movement near the start or middle of your training sessions. Do multiple sets of just a few reps, performing each as explosively as possible.
