Step by step

How to do the Front Cone Hops (or hurdle hops)

  1. 1

    Set up a row of cones or other small barriers, placing them a few feet apart.

  2. 2

    Stand in front of the first cone with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Begin by jumping with both feet over the first cone, swinging both arms as you jump.

  4. 4

    Absorb the impact of landing by bending the knees, rebounding out of the first leap by jumping over the next cone.

  5. 5

    Continue until you have jumped over all of the cones.
