How to do it

Swing both arms upward as you take off to drive maximum height on each jump.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Lower into a semi-squat position and explode upwards, bringing your knees towards your chest.

  3. 3

    Extend your legs back out to land softly on the balls of your feet.

  4. 4

    Immediately lower back into the semi-squat and repeat the jump.

  5. 5

    Continue for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Land softly on the balls of your feet to reduce impact on your knees and maintain a quick rebound for the next jump.
