BOSU Ski Jumps for Cardio


Ski Hops
Stand on top of bubble with feet spaced evenly. Bend the knees and jump up, angling feet and body to the right, hands up for balance and abs tight. Hop towards the left and continue hopping from right to left with feet together, as though 'skiing' down a mountain. Repeat for 30 seconds, march in place (on the floor or the BOSU) for 8 counts and repeat for another 30 seconds.

Hopefully, this series of photos makes sense. The one at the bottom is the end move.

Notice the cat in photo 2. Always exercise with your pets - it brings you closer together.

Don't have a BOSU at home? This one won't be as fun without the BOSU, and it'll be tough to do with similar results. You can jump laterally and get in ski position and back up. Then jump laterally (about 4-5 feet) and ski, get back up and jump to the other side. Does this make sense?
