I did 90 frog jumps every day for a week — here’s what happened to my legs

How to do frog jumps

I recommend learning how to do squats first before jumping. If you have any injuries, including your lower back or joint problems, we recommend clearing this exercise with a qualified medical professional first. As a personal trainer, I ask clients who experience joint pain and lower back injuries to avoid frog jumps, as explosive movements can exacerbate symptoms through excessive loading. Good to go? Here’s how to do it.
