Skipping?? Not just for little ones!

The Benefits of Jump Training for Midlife Wellness

Jump training isn't just for our kids and their kids. It's such a valuable addition when you're navigating midlife, menopause, and empty nesting!

Engaging in explosive moves like jumping, hopping, and bounding can significantly enhance muscle power, balance, bone strength, and metabolic health.

Contrary to the belief that we should slow down as we age, research shows that incorporating Jump Training into our workouts can enhance strength, agility, and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis.

When starting out, you don't need to tackle high-intensity exercises. Simple moves like bouncing onto your toes or hopping side-to-side can be a great beginning.

Moves to Include in Your Routine:

• Skaters: Begin with a soft landing to get accustomed to the form and rhythm.

• Skipping: Enjoy this fun and dynamic exercise!

• Box jumps: If the impact is too much, start on a small step and gradually progress.

• Medicine ball slams: Elevate your heart rate and engage your joints without high impact.

• Standing jumps: Start in a squat position and raise your heels onto your toes if landing is a concern.

  
  

Another effective move is a push-up with hands on a bench or your kitchen counter exploding up for less impact. This exercise is similar to push-ups with a clap but performed on a raised surface.

Combining jump training with resistance training, HIIT sessions, sprint workouts, and mobility exercises forms a comprehensive strategy for maintaining and building lean muscle, even at the age of 57!
