How to do a pogo hop

  1. Stand tall with feet hip width apart and knees nearly straight.
  2. Bounce vertically off the balls of your feet using only your ankles.
  3. Keep ground contact time as short as possible.
  4. Keep your knees stiff and let the calves and ankles do the work.
  5. Continue bouncing rhythmically for the interval.

Form tips

  • Think of your ankles as springs.
  • Do not sink into a squat between hops.
  • Land on the balls of the feet, heels kissing the floor at most.
