Jumping is essential to longevity training!
*of course it is safely progressed in each individuals program
Here's why!!
🦴 Increases bone density — Impact loading gives bones a stimulus to maintain strength.
💪Improves muscular power — we lose the ability to produce force quickly as we age, if it's not preserved!
⚖️ Improves balance and stability — Challenges the body to control landing and respond to changes in position.
🦵Strengthens tendons and connective tissue — Progressive loading can improve tissue capacity and resilience.
🚶Supports functional movement — The ability to generate and absorb force helps with stairs, getting up quickly, and other daily activities.
🧠 Improves neuromuscular coordination — Requires the brain and muscles to communicate rapidly.
🛡️May improve fall resilience — Training controlled landings and rapid force production can help develop physical qualities important for recovering from a loss of balance.
🏌️Helps maintain athleticism with age - Preserving power and impact tolerance can help you remain physically capable as you get older.
Important: Jumping isn't appropriate at the same intensity for everyone.
Start with low-impact variations-such as heel raises, pogo-style movements, step-ups, or controlled mini-jumps—and progress from there 🏆
You will age.....YOU get to decide how you will age!
