How to do it

  1. Stand tall, then squat down and place your hands on the floor in front of your feet.
  2. Jump or step your feet back into a plank and lower your chest to the floor.
  3. Press back up and jump or step your feet back under your hips.
  4. Stand and jump straight up with your arms overhead, then go into the next rep.

Coaching cues

  • Step back and forward instead of jumping to lower the impact while keeping the effort.
  • Skip the chest to floor part when you are new, and add it once you can keep a straight body.
