Frogger Stall

Starting Posture

Begin in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders, legs extended behind you, and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.

How to Exercise

From the plank position, jump both feet forward toward your hands, landing outside of your hands in a low squat position. Keep your hands on the ground to support your body weight. Hold the low squat position for a moment before jumping back to the plank position. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Breath Control

Inhale as you jump your feet forward into the low squat position and exhale as you jump back to the plank position.

Common errors

Common errors include allowing your hips to drop during the low squat position, failing to fully extend your body in the plank position, or landing heavily on your feet instead of jumping lightly.

Variations

To make the exercise more challenging, you can add a push-up after returning to the plank position before jumping your feet forward again. Another variation is to perform the exercise with a medicine ball under your hands for an extra stability challenge.

Comments and tips

Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to stabilize your body. Focus on landing softly to reduce impact on your joints. As you become more comfortable with the exercise, try to increase the speed and intensity of your jumps.

Cautions

Avoid overarching your lower back during the low squat position to prevent strain on your back. If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately.
