Jump Twist
Jump up and turn half a circle in the air to land facing the other way, then jump and turn back.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, arms out to the sides.
Steps
- Dip, jump and turn the hips and shoulders together in the air.
- Land facing the other way, knees bent over the toes.
- Settle, then jump and turn back the same way you came.
Common mistakes
Landing before the turn is finished: complete the turn in the air so the feet land square. Knees twisting on the landing: feet, knees and hips face the same way. Turning the same way every rep: alternate the direction.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
