Double Hop Jump Rope
Here, you have to start out with a basic jump rope in order to build stamina. Then you lift your left leg and jump with your right leg for two counts. Then you switch and raise your right leg so you can jump on your left leg for two counts. While jumping, you want to continue switching each leg. This is a great cardio workout.

Ladder Hop Squats
Stand with your legs wide and on each side of the ladder. Crouch down into a squat and put each arm straight down. Then you're going to hop. With each hop, you want your arm to land in each square. As you move forward, you also want to move faster. This works your quads and thighs.
