Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.
- Keep your core engaged and your chest lifted.

2. Movement:
- Begin by bending your knees slightly and hinging at your hips, preparing to jump.
- As you jump up, kick your heels towards your glutes, trying to touch your butt with your feet.
- Simultaneously, raise your arms above your head with your palms facing each other.

3. Landing:
- Land softly on the balls of your feet, keeping your knees slightly bent.
- Use your arms to help maintain balance as you return to the starting position.

4. Repetition:
- Repeat the jump, maintaining a controlled movement.
- Aim for a rhythm, alternating between jumping and landing smoothly.

5. Tips:
- Keep your movements light and springy, focusing on the explosive lift during the jump.
- If you are a beginner, you can start with a simple butt kick (without the jump) before advancing to the plyometric version.
- Ensure you have enough space around you to perform the exercise safely.
