| | | | | | | | Side Hops | The side hop exercise—also known as the lateral hop—is a simple but vigorous exercise to perform after you've warmed up with earlier exercises. This exercise has cardiovascular benefits and is great for balance.
Step 1: Start by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, and elbows bent so your hands are loosely fisted in front of your chest.
Step 2: Imagine there is an invisible line between your feet. Start hopping with both feet at the same time, about a foot to the left and right of the imaginary line.
Step 3: Hop for two minutes per set, and try to perform three sets.
Although this exercise involves a slight hopping movement, it is well-tolerated by many individuals with arthritis, especially after warming up. | | Explore More Fitness |
