How to do it
- Begin in a relaxed stance with your feet shoulder width apart and hold your arms close to the body.
- To initiate the move, squat down halfway and explode back up as high as possible.
- Fully extend your entire body, reaching overhead as far as possible. As you land, absorb your impact through the legs.
