Do these 5 jumping exercises daily for 20 minutes and lose 2 kilos in a week

No, you aren’t hallucinating because what you read above is absolutely true. You must be thinking what will happen to your knees if you jump this much? Relax, because if you do these exercises the right way your joints will be just fine. Basically, if you are looking for a fun way to lose your weight then jumping exercises are here to get you going. 

You see, in jumping exercises if you get the basics right then hurting yourself is out of the question. All you need to do is just remember a few things like:

• Surface: Ensure that the surface on which you are jumping is hard and skid-proof.
• Shoes: Wear the right kind of shoes so that they can absorb the shock instead of putting pressure on your knees.
• Landing: You need to ensure that you land properly so that the soles of your feet touch the ground properly. For that, you need to start with low jumps and then can take it a notch higher.

If these three are sorted then jumping exercises are the easiest way to lose weight.
