The next jump will be a squat jump and down, and jump back, arms up and down. it’s important that it starts all the way down. One more time and up and down. The next jump take three steps back please. Now we’re going to do three tuck jumps without stopping. Make sure your arms are under control, your back is straight, ready and go. One, two, three and stop. Again, stop. Bend your knees, hold the position, very good. Take three steps back, now we’re going to squat and stretch and push. Squat and stretch, make sure your back is nice and round. Again and stretch and in and out, one more and stop. We have one more jump to do; this is called a star jump. And ready, arms open and up.
