How to do it

  1. Set up a row of cones or other small barriers, placing them a few feet apart.
  2. Stand in front of the first cone with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
  3. Begin by jumping with both feet over the first cone, swinging both arms as you jump.
  4. Absorb the impact of landing by bending the knees, rebounding out of the first leap by jumping over the next cone.
  5. Continue until you have jumped over all of the cones.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Front Cone Hops (or hurdle hops) from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
