Description

  • Stand with your feet staggered about 18 to 24 inches apart, front and back.
  • Jump up and while in the air quickly switch legs forward and backward.
  • Land and absorb the impact softly by bending both legs until the back knee is about an inch from the ground.
  • Keep your chest up and maintain good posture throughout. The front knee shouldn't move too far past the toes.

ProTip

  • Explosively swinging your arms up helps with jump height

Mistakes

  • Hunching and not keeping the chest up
