Thank you for the video.
I’m going to try jumping one step, one hop today!
I was hopping in one leg 50 reps then the other leg but got too tired!

@kfhoz I love these guys and subscribe to their channel. However, I have a “seriously degenerating spine” as on radiologist so unkindly said recently. Jumping is a no-no for me. I walk a mile with my dog each day, using an all terrain rollator and I do chair yoga. Alas, I will have to try something else. I don’t have osteoporosis, just osteopenia. But how many 75 year old women do you know who don’t have osteopenia? At least my left hip will never get osteoporosis. It’s been replaced with a bionic hip, smile.
