If there is one thing we can rely on Shilpa Shetty for—beyond her gorgeous yoga poses and enviable physical fitness levels—it is her ability to make exercising look fabulous and fun. And this time, it is something as crazy as its name: Gorilla Jumps!
Taking to Instagram, the ever-glowing fitness enthusiast shared a video of herself hopping around with the energy of, well, a gorilla! And if you think this is just another fitness fad, think again. According to Shilpa, just three rounds of these beastly jumps can do wonders for your agility, mobility, and full-body strength. So, if you are ready to channel your inner jungle spirit, here is why you should be adding Gorilla Jumps to your routine!
What Are Gorilla Jumps?
Think of them as a mix between a squat jump and a frog leap—except you are tapping into some serious primal power. You begin in a low squat, with your hands on the floor for balance, and then explosively push away, advancing forward like a gorilla on the hunt. The payoff? A workout that engages legs, core, shoulders, and stamina, all at once.
Why Should You Try It?
Full-Body Activation—Gorilla Jumps are a power-packed move that works your quads, glutes, hamstrings, core, arms, and shoulders. No muscle gets left behind!
Boosts Agility and Mobility—Whether you're an athlete or just want to move like one, this exercise improves coordination, balance, and speed.
Fat-Blasting Fun— Hate long cardio sessions? These jumps torch calories fast, making them a perfect high-intensity workout move.
Improves Joint Health—The deep squat position strengthens knees and hips, making you more resilient to injuries.
Shilpa’s Secret: Just 3 Rounds!
According to Shilpa, you don't need to spend hours on them. Three sets are enough to feel the burn and reap the rewards. Perfect for those days when you're short of time but need a power-packed workout.
