Exercise Benefits

The frog jumps is a plyometric exercise and the goal of this kind of training is to gain muscle mass and get fast, firm, and powerful muscles. Plyometric exercises get your heart rate up and help you build cardio fitness and muscle endurance. These exercises help you burn calories during the workout but you’ll also get an afterburn effect, meaning you’ll burn more calories in the next 24 to 48 hours.
