Starting by shifting your hips backwards then slowly moving downwards to create a hinge-like movement at your knees. Try to maintain a flat back by bending forward at the hips, keep your head facing forward and position your arms by your side or where they offer the greatest degree of balance support. Extend your shoulders and reach your arms behind you to prepare the arm swing forward and upwards. Pause briefly pause at the bottom of your downward phase, then explode upwards through your lower legs. As you jump into the air, you propel your arms forward and throw them up in the air reaching overhead to help create upwards momentum away from the ground. Extend all the way through the body to create a straight line from your toes up through your arms and out of your hands. When landing, land on the mid-foot rolling backwards towards the heels whilst pushing your hips backwards and downwards to absorb the impact with soft knee.
Recoil and repeat with explosive power
