Broad Jump to Vertical
A standing broad jump followed at once by a vertical jump from the landing; the landing becomes the take-off.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, open floor in front.
Steps
- Swing the arms and jump forward as far as you can.
- Land on both feet, hips back, and jump straight up at once.
- Land softly on bent knees and walk back to the start.
Common mistakes
Landing stiff from the broad jump: soft knees absorb it before the second jump. Knees caving on the take-off: keep them over the toes. Rushing into the next rep: reset fully between rounds.
Breathing
Exhale on each jump, inhale walking back.
