Double Leg Beach Bounding
Equipment Required: none, just yourself and a nice stretch of beach
Technique
- Start by standing with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart, facing in the direction you wish to go
- Bend at the knees to lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the sand, then immediately jump forwards off both legs.
- Aim to jump as far as possible, using your arms to propel you forwards.
- On landing, sink directly into the next bound without pausing.
- Do a total of five bounds.
Key points to remember
- Warm up before any exercise program. At the beach, a run and some stretches is a good way to start.
- If it is sunny, don't forget to cover yourself up with a hat or some sunscreen. If it is hot, be sure to drink lots of water to stay well hydrated.
