Broad Jumps

Also known as Standing Broad Jumps and Standing Long Jumps

What It Is

Jumping forward as far as you can from both feet. It builds leg power and teaches your body to land safely.

How to Do It

Stand with feet hip-width apart. Swing your arms back as you bend your hips and knees. Swing them forward and jump out as far as you can. Land softly on both feet with knees bent. You need about 15 feet of clear floor.

Tips

Stick each landing and hold it for a second. Keep your knees in line with your toes as you land.
