Jump forwards and shift backwards in a four-footed stance alternating ► bear crawl jump

Individual work

Stand with your hips wide apart, legs slightly bent and arms supported on your hips, jump forwards with both legs. Then, in an inverted four-footed stance (chest facing upwards, body supported on the hands and feet, fingertips pointing forwards), shift back to the starting point. When moving on all fours, the arms are almost fully extended, the legs are bent and the movement is in the direction of the arms.

Attention:
Always keep your knees behind the tips of your feet when jumping, pause briefly with your knees bent after each landing.

Lighten:
Bend your knees less (greater angle) when jumping and landing; jump less far forwards.

Harden:
Bend your knees more (smaller angle) when jumping and landing; jump with your arms in front of you; additional weight.

Variation:
Don't keep your arms supported or in front of you, but actively support the jump with your arms (with momentum).
