Instructions

Setup

  • Stand tall with your feet together and your hands held up in a guard position near your chin, as if preparing to box.

Movement

  • Jump Phase: Simultaneously jump your feet out to a wide stance while punching one arm forward in a controlled, explosive motion. Ensure you alternate arms with every repetition.

  • Return Phase: Jump your feet back together while retracting your punching arm to the guard position simultaneously.

  • Rhythm: Maintain a steady, brisk pace. Keep your core braced throughout the movement to stabilize your torso while your limbs move.

  • Soft Impact: Ensure you land softly on the balls of your feet during each jump to protect your joints.
