So start in a squat position: knees bent, back straight, eyes forward. Then when you jump up into the air, shoot those hands up as high as you can; get those feet right up off the ground; and make sure when you land, you land nice and soft into that squat position. You’ve got to protect those knees.

1. Start in a squat position, knees bent, eyes forward and back straight.

2. Jump up into the air straightening your legs and extending your arms above your head so your feet come off the ground.

3. Upon landing, return to the squat position and repeat.
