Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 2. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.
- 3. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
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:
Arms not pumping — cue the arms to drive in opposition to create rhythm and reduce leg fatigue.
