3. Star Jump – Jump up with both feet, make a big star shape whilst in the air and then land back down on both feet.

Remember: 

 

  • Never land with straight legs (bend legs when landing) 
  • Land on the balls of your feet  
  • Arms should be in front in straight line when landing 
  • Look forward and not down.
