Video Transcript

"I'm Mandy Butler on behalf of Expert Village and we're going to talk about tumble tuck warm ups today. The third jump we're going to do is called a tuck jump. You're going to be in the exact same body position you would be in for a front tuck or a punch front, which is a forward flip in a tucked position. You're also going to use that same body position in a back tuck, which is a backwards flip in a nice tucked position. I'll show you on my back the correct body position you're going to be in in the air. Notice that I bring my knees up to my chest instead of trying to bring my chest to my knees. The reason for that is if you reach too far forward with your chest, you're going to stop your rotation, in back tuck especially, and lean forward and send your momentum into the ground, rather than taking momentum from the ground. You're going to want to go forward and up in your tuck jump. A lot of times, I will add a backwards tuck jump to this warm up, but we're going to skip this. Just know that that's the same principal, just going backwards like we did in the straight jump. I'm going to stand up and I'm going to put my arms nice and tight above my head, the same as we did in the forward and backward straight jumps. I'm going to do 2 straight jumps just to get my body nice and centered. Make sure you stay nice and tight, you don't bend your arms, because you're going to want to to balance yourself. Make sure your arms are nice and straight and your body is nice and squeezed. I'm going to do jump, jump, tuck, jump, jump, tuck, jump, jump, tuck. Careful not to kick your bottom and bring your knees to you. That's the tuck jump."
