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, spreading your legs and arms away from the body.
- As you land, bring your limbs back in and absorb your impact through the legs.
