Single Leg Reach And Jump

Instructions

1. 1.From standing, lean forward and raise your left leg behind you with your left arm straight out towards the floor.
2. 2.All together, kick your left knee forward and up, and jump on your standing leg while swinging your left arm back and right arm up.
3. 3.After landing, return to your starting position, then repeat the jump.
4. 4.Continue this for the required reps then repeat on the opposite side.

Tips

• Be careful to track your knee directly over your big toe – twisting or turning it one way or the other could cause injury.
• Roll up onto the ball of the foot as you jump and roll back down as you land, being sure to bend your knee to brace the impact.
• Try to move your neck and back together in a straight line to avoid straining - don’t drop or raise your head too much.
• Keep your lower back in a neutral position.

Breathing Instructions

1. Inhale as you balance. 2. Exhale as you jump. 3. Don’t hold your breath.
