Starting Posture
Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides.
How to Exercise
Begin the movement by jumping laterally to one side while simultaneously swinging your arms to the opposite side. Land on one leg and keep your other leg slightly off the ground. Push off the outside leg to jump laterally to the other side, swinging your arms to the opposite side. Repeat for 10 reps on each side.
Breath Control
Inhale before jumping and exhale as you jump and land.
Common errors
Common errors include leaning too far forward or twisting the body excessively. Make sure to maintain a straight line from head to toe. Do not rush through the movement, as this can lead to loss of balance and improper form.

Comments and tips
Focus on proper form and control throughout the movement. Engage your core to stabilize your body. Keep your chest up and back straight. Drive through the outside leg to generate power for the jumps. Increase the intensity by jumping further or higher if you are more advanced.
Cautions
Avoid letting your knee collapse inwards when landing. Make sure to land softly to protect your joints. If you have any knee or ankle issues, consult with a fitness professional before attempting this exercise.
