  • Finish each set with clean technique
DON'T

WHAT TO AVOID

STEP BY STEP

MOVE WITH CONTROL.

  1. Stand tall with arms by your sides.
  2. Jump feet out while sweeping arms overhead.
  3. Land softly with knees slightly bent.
  4. Jump back to the start and repeat at a steady pace.
STOP IF SOMETHING FEELS WRONG.

Muscle effort is expected; sharp pain, dizziness, numbness, or unusual discomfort is not. Reduce the load or range, stop the exercise, and seek qualified guidance when needed.
