Hi Anna! Greetings from Toronto!

Plyohops are just plyo squats only you're plyo squatting in a forward motion, not in place. Yep, you're right -- just like a leap frog!

Just did Plyohops this morning with Cardio Kicks. Really, Anna, they're not too hard plus there's not too many of them -- 4 hops forward, regular jacks or walking back.

Go for it, Anna! Betcha by golly wah, you can do it!

Hi Patricia,

So they are called Plyohops !! It sounded like Cathe was saying Powerhops !! I am glad to hear that there are not too many of them !
BTW, Patricia, I have an Aunt that lives in Toronto, she married a Canadian Air Force man just after the war, and has lived there ever since. I've never visited, but Toronto is one city I would love to see !

I think Cathe calls them "power hops," at least in Cardio Kicks. They take a little getting used to, since this probably isn't a movement you do everyday ;-)

I just did CK this morning too! I love the power hops - that's my favorite part. Just try it once and you'll see how much fun it is!

Hi Anna:

Yup -- Toronto is a beautiful city. Right now the leaves are turning colour (at last -- summer's heat was just toooo lonnng in departing), the sun is shining and there's that special autumn crispness in the air. Ahhh -- heaven! I just wish the other people would leave. Nuttin' like a downtown lunch-hour rush-hour -- so much traffic, so many people on the sidewalks.

Kathryn was right -- that move is called a Powerhop, but it's also kinda a "plyo" move to me (it's that ole potato, potahto, tomatoe, tomahtoe thang!)

Hope you're having a great evening!
