How to do it
- Stand tall with your feet together and your arms at your sides.
- Jump your feet out to shoulder width while sweeping your arms overhead.
- Jump your feet back together and bring your arms back to your sides.
- Keep a steady rhythm for the set time, landing softly on the balls of your feet.
Coaching cues
- Step one foot out at a time instead of jumping if you want a lower impact version.
- Keep your knees soft on every landing rather than landing stiff legged.
