How to do it

  1. From standing, squat down and place your hands on the floor just in front of your feet.
  2. Jump your feet back so your body is straight from head to heels, then lower your chest to the floor.
  3. Push yourself back up, jump your feet toward your hands, and jump up with your arms overhead.
  4. Keep your core tight so your hips don't sag, and land softly with bent knees.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
