May - Jumping Month

This month, our movements and stretches are going to help us with our jumping. We will be working on dynamic movements, activation of the posterior chain (underutilized in jumping), and stability in the hips, knees, and ankles. Even if you are not planning on grabbing the jumprope for your next workout, these exercises can help you when you play tennis, hop over a creek, or any other activity that demands a combination of power and stability from the lower body.
