Instructions

Setup

  • Begin standing with feet hip-width apart.

  • Ensure you have enough lateral space to jump safely.

Movement

  • Lower yourself into a shallow squat position to prepare for the jump.

  • Powerfully push off from both feet to jump sideways.

  • Land softly on both feet, immediately sinking back into a squat to absorb the impact.

  • Focus on maintaining a strong core and stable knee alignment during the landing.

  • Without pausing, jump back toward the starting position or continue in the same direction depending on your flow.

Form Tips

  • Keep your chest up throughout the movement.

  • Ensure your knees track in line with your toes.

  • Use your arms for momentum to assist with the lateral distance.
