Snap Down

Description

Begin in a standing position with your arms up over your head and your toes pushing into the ground raising your heels up becoming as tall as you can. From this position, perform a small hop with both feet slightly coming off of the ground. As you land, bend your knees and begin to hinge forward at your hips absorbing the landing. Return to the starting position and repeat. You should feel the muscles in your lower body working. Start with your arms and knees fully straightened out. Keep a stable balance as you land and briefly hold that end position, don’t go too fast and become off balanced. Keep your chest up.
