Fig. 2 The action essentials of the frog hop. STEP 1: Stand with two hands behind the head and feet shoulder-width apart, squat down, keep the torso upright and the head and chest up. STEP 2: Jump forward, avoid unnecessary high jump. STEP 3: When the feet touch the ground, use the legs to cushion the impact of landing.
