The Cone Jump is surprisingly difficult. It tests your entire lower body, as well as your balance and endurance.
How To Do It
1. Place one 6-inch cone (or object of similar height) on a cushioned surface.
2. Stand on one side of the cone.
3. Bend your knees slightly and then immediately jump over the cone, landing on the opposite side. That’s one rep.
4. Jump back to the original side. That’s two reps.
Online Personal Trainer Tips
1. Some people like jumping on a non-cushioned surface (concrete, etc.) better than a cushioned surface (workout mat, etc.). If that’s you, feel free to do so. But if you’re on the fence, opt for the cushioned surface. Your joints will thank you in the years to come.
2. If you can’t jump over the cone, jump over one foot at a time. As long as both feet touch down after each “jump,” it counts.
