Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.
  3. 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.
