Single Leg Hops

This move is like a young bear testing one paw at a time across a forest trail. You hop, stick the landing, and build springy legs, sharper balance, and quick footwork without rushing the job.

Instructions

1. Stand on one leg with a soft knee.
2. Brace your core and lift your chest.
3. Hop forward a short distance.
4. Land softly on the same leg.
5. Pause and hold your balance.
6. Repeat, then switch sides.
