Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
- 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Substitute a step variation for any jumping or bounding component.
Progression:
Add a loaded carry or band resistance to increase the metabolic and strength-endurance demand.
Common Problems:
Landing with locked knees — cue soft landing with immediate re-bend. Losing base position between transitions — enforce the athletic stance reset.
