Hopping on One Leg for 60 seconds!

Hopping is fun and it's healthy!

You can hop on a trampoline or just hop around the house to music.
Hopping is beneficial for the body's musculature, especially that of the intestines.
The rhythmical up and down movement relaxes and encourages digestion.
If you regularly run or walk you can achieve the same results.

Have fun!! : )

“Just did it, alternated the leg and found my right leg did more. But anyway total hops were 140 in 60 secs. Felt like I was a 7 years old child, funny!”
