A 20-day jump training challenge with the Plyo Guy and the Plyo Queen.
Hoptober is a 20-day jump training challenge from October 5–31. It’s a simple way to add plyometrics into your routine, no experience needed.
What’s Hoptober?
You want to get bouncy but can’t find the time or don’t know what to do? Start with the Hoptober challenge! That’s exactly why we created it.
Why Hoptober?
Every workout lands in your inbox the evening before you do it — starting Sunday, October 4, running through October 31.
Each workout will come with video demos, so you always know what the move should look like.
There are 20 short workouts: Monday, Tuesday & Wednesdays you jump. Thursday you rest. Friday & Saturday you jump.
Each workout includes quick warm up plus a dynamic session you can slot into your day, or right before your strength workout.
How does Hoptober work?
$20 for 20 days. Free challenges are easy to fall off of, we know because we’ve done free things we never finished. Twenty bucks means you've got feet in the game, and feet in the game means you’ll be jumping.
How much is it?
Can we win a prize in this challenge?
Yes. The top 2 most consistent win either one month free in Matt’s Ganbaru Move Good Feel Good plyo program, or $100 off Tina’s Intro to Plyometrics online course (that starts Nov 8).
Post your workouts on Instagram with #Hoptober. That way we can track you showing up. Just a note to make it a post, not an instagram story (stories disappear, so we can't count them).
Do I need jumping experience?
Nope. All levels are welcome! This is about adding a little hop into your life.
What if I miss a day?
It is totally ok to miss a day or two. Just hop into the next day. Even if you get 1-2 of the workouts in each week, it’s a win. Remember the workouts are meant to be short so that it can fit into your life or slotted before your strength workout.
Do I need equipment?
No equipment needed. All of the workouts can be done at home.
Is this safe if I’m new to jumping and worried about my joints?
Yes, it is. You scale the volume (the reps or time) to what is appropriate for you. We include a warm up as well as joint therapeutic exercises.
