Set up your camera

Phone at hip height, about 3 metres away, filming you from the side.

Your whole body, head to feet, needs to be in the picture. The coach will remind you if it can't see you.

How to do it

  1. 1Stand facing a sturdy, low box, about a small step away.
  2. 2Sink into a quarter squat and swing your arms back.
  3. 3Swing your arms up hard and jump onto the box.
  4. 4Land softly with your knees bent.
  5. 5Stand up tall, then step down. Don't jump down.

What the coach watches for

  • Load your legs

    Your dip was shallow. Sink into a quarter squat before you jump.

  • Swing your arms

    Your arms stayed down. Swing them up hard as you jump.

  • Land soft

    You landed stiff-legged. Land quietly with your knees bent.
