Movement instructions

1
Stand with your hands behind your head, and squat down keeping your torso upright and your head up. This will be your starting position.
2
Jump forward several feet, avoiding jumping unnecessarily high. As your feet contact the ground, absorb the impact through your legs, and jump again. Repeat this action 5-10 times.

Technique guidance

Breathe slowly and evenly. Exhale as you ease into a comfortable range, and never use the breath to force a deeper position.

Use only a comfortable range; a stretch may feel like tension but should not feel sharp or joint-specific.
Come out of the position slowly and use support when balance is limited.

General guidance matched from movement type and equipment; it is not individualized coaching or medical advice.
