Instructions

Positioning:
1. Stand upright with your feet together.
2. Hold your arms at your sides or bent at the elbows in front of you for balance.

Movement Instructions:
1. Begin by slightly bending your knees while keeping your heels off the ground.
2. Jump upwards using your calves and feet, focusing on an explosive, quick motion.
3. As you jump, keep your legs straight and close together.
4. Land softly on the balls of your feet, allowing your knees to bend slightly to absorb the impact.
5. Immediately use the spring from your landing to jump again.
6. Repeat the jumping motion continuously, aiming for quick, short jumps rather than high ones.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start with smaller, less explosive jumps until you feel comfortable.
- Focus on your landing technique to avoid injury; ensure you land softly.
- Maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise.
- Engage your core to help with balance and stability.

Duration:
- Aim for 30 seconds to 1 minute of continuous jumps, then rest. Repeat for 2-3 sets as your fitness improves.
