Procedures on Bunny Hop Exercise
1. Sit on your hands and feet with most of your
weight leaning on your legs.
2. Move your hands off the ground and forward
while leaning forward.
3. Land with your two hands on the ground. Jump
forward a small amount with your legs.
4. Land back into starting position but in a different
place. If you want to do more bunny hops and you are
more advanced you can move your hands off the ground
right before your feet land. This way you can move
forward just a little faster.
