How to do a star jump

  1. Start in a quarter squat with hands near your knees.
  2. Explode upward, spreading arms and legs wide into a star shape.
  3. Pull your limbs back in before landing.
  4. Land softly back into the quarter squat.
  5. Reset and jump again immediately.

Form tips

  • Land softly on the balls of your feet to absorb impact.
  • Fully extend your arms and legs at the top of the jump.
  • Keep your core braced throughout the movement.
  • Maintain a soft bend in the knees to protect your joints.
