Standing Long Jump
Swing the arms, jump forward as far as you can from both feet and stick the landing in a squat.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, toes at a line, open floor in front.
Steps
- Hinge and swing the arms back.
- Throw the arms forward and jump out and up.
- Land on both feet, hips back and knees bent, and hold it.
Common mistakes
Landing on straight legs: bend the knees and send the hips back as you touch. Falling forward after the landing: reach the feet out in front and hold still. Knees collapsing inward in the catch: keep them over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale walking back.
