Get your BOUNCE back

Summer derailed your fitness? Jump into shape with this free plan, no equipment needed

DID YOU KNOW?

Jumping for just six minutes a week can be enough to improve bone density, helping to ward off osteoporosis and bone fractures*.

LATERAL JUMP

Stand comfortably with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees soft. Bend your knees and jump to the side. Immediately jump back, returning to your starting position.

TIP: Avoid doing this exercise on hard surfaces, such as concrete, as this can be harsh on joints. Practise on soft flooring.

STATIONARY LUNGE JUMP

Do a forward lunge with both legs bent and feet pointing forwards. Keep your back straight, squat down and explode upwards (do not switch your legs). Land softly, switch legs and repeat.

TIP: Keep your hips back and allow your hips and knees to bend deeply to absorb the landing. Don’t lock your knees.
