Why choose to jump<\/b>?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our <\/span>#JumpForHealth<\/b> challenge has been running for over five years. First launched in 2017, the campaign was developed for the dual purpose of improving our members\u2019 health and an important charitable cause. For every 10,000 <\/span>jumps<\/span> we received, Aditya Birla Health Insurance donated a prosthetic leg to a person in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is jumping<\/b>?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jumping<\/b> is a <\/span>plyometric<\/span> exercise that involves spurts of energy in short intervals to increase power. <\/span>Plyometric<\/span> workouts are dynamic and can immensely benefit your body. When you include <\/span>jumping exercises<\/span> in your daily workout routine, you pave the way for strengthening your lower and <\/span>upper body<\/b>, which further improves your balance and coordination. <\/span>Jumping<\/span> also improves your bone density, especially if you are injury-prone or have a family history of osteoporosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 best jumping exercises<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can try the following 4 <\/span>jumping exercises<\/span> for a full-body <\/span>plyometric<\/span> workout<\/b>, anytime and anywhere as they do not require any equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Burpees_Activ<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Burpees: <\/b>Burpees are an effective workout that gets your heart rate up. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees to a squat position, place your hands on the floor and <\/span>jump<\/span> your feet back out to get into a plank position. Lower your chest to the floor, <\/span>jump<\/span> your feet forward to come into a squat position and <\/span>jump<\/b> up,\u00a0 lifting your arms over your head. Do 2 to 3 sets of 10 repetitions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Star <\/b>jumps<\/b>: <\/b>Improve your cardiovascular health with star <\/span>jumps<\/span>. Stand tall and keep your arms by your side as you get ready to propel yourself upwards. Bend your knees and <\/span>jump<\/span> with your legs open and arms open over your head in a star position. Land softly with your legs bent and repeat the same exercise.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Jump<\/b> lunges: <\/b>Start your <\/span>jump<\/span> lunge by placing your right leg forward and your left leg back. Keep your core tight as you bend your knee to get into a lunge position. Push up through your feet, <\/span>jump<\/span> and switch legs. Now your left leg is in front and your right leg back. Land carefully to avoid knee jerks. Ensure that when you bend your knee, it is stacked right on top of your foot.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Squat <\/b>jumps<\/b>: <\/b>Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips. Lower your body to get into a squat position, press up through the ball of your feet, engage your core, and <\/span>jump<\/span> up explosively. Land with your knees slightly bent and repeat the same exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          These <\/span>plyometric<\/span> exercises exert pressure on the tendons, ligaments and lower-extremity muscles, including the knees and ankles. Therefore, start slowly and gradually increase your pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Here is how to participate in #JumpForHealth:<\/span><\/p>\n
