Jumping has many benefits when it is properly implemented into a fitness program. Jumping improves your balance, coordination, agility and body awareness. Another benefit of jumping is an increase of functional strength because of the triples extension of your ankles, knees and hip.
Children are fearless when it comes to jumping. It is a simple carry over because jumping is part of their everyday life. Sack races, hop scotch or leap frog are easy for a child to understand because of their game like environment. Somehow when we get older the idea of jumping seems awkward and uncomfortable.
Have fun with jumping, its a great way to get your blood flowing and your heart racing.
