Instructions:

  • 2Jump up and while in the air, rotate your waist to the right
  • 3Land gently and immediately jump again, this time rotating your waist to the left
  • 4Continue this process for the desired amount of repetitions
  • 5Make sure each jump is controlled and you're twisting at your waist not your hips

Tips:

  • Ensure you're landing softly to provide less impact on your knees
  • Keep your core engaged to make twisting easier and protect your lower back
  • Make sure your form is correct before increasing speed or intensity
