  3. 03

    Land softly on the balls of your feet with the knees tracking over the toes so they don't cave in.

Tips

§ 04 · Tips

Stay light on your feet and keep the core braced for the whole set so the hips and knees stay aligned. If the landing feels heavy, make the jump smaller but keep the rhythm.
