How to do it
- Stand with your feet hip to shoulder width and your toes slightly out.

- Jump straight up, extending your hips, knees and ankles.
- Land softly on the middle of your foot, absorb the landing by bending your knees, and go straight into the next rep.
Coaching cues

- Skip this one if your knees or ankles are sore and use bodyweight squats instead.
