Long Jumps / Squat Jumps
- Begin by standing tall, preparing for some major leaps.
- With your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees and push your hips back a little.
- Bring the hands up in front of you. You are ready.
- Bend your knees while bringing your hands down and then explode by jumping forwards. Allow your arms to raise up in the air to create extra momentum.
- Land softly, bending your knees to protect the landing.
- BE CAREFUL: If you jump too far you might end up in France. If this happens, ‘Bonjour’ means hello.
