How to do it
Lock your eyes on the landing spot before leaving the ground.
- 1
Stand on one leg in front of a sturdy board or platform.
- 2
Bend your knee slightly and swing your arms to prepare for the jump.
- 3
Explosively jump onto the board, landing softly on the same foot.
- 4
Maintain balance upon landing, then step down and reset.
- 5
Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
Expert tip
Focus on a soft landing to absorb impact through your muscles rather than your joints. Use your arms to generate momentum and maintain balance.
