How to Perform

Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms at sides, core braced on a flat surface with clear space ahead.

  1. Squat down and place hands on floor in front of feet.
  2. Jump feet back to high plank position.
  3. Lower chest to floor by bending elbows, then push up to plank.
  4. Jump feet forward to hands, landing in squat.
  5. Swing arms back, then explode forward into broad jump with hip and knee extension.
  6. Land softly in squat, absorbing impact with bent knees and hips.
  7. Immediately transition to next rep.

Coaching Tips

Form Cues

  • Keep core tight throughout.
  • Land softly on forefoot.
  • Drive hips forward explosively.
  • Maintain straight plank line.
  • Swing arms for momentum.

Breathing

Inhale during descent to plank and push-up, exhale forcefully during jump and stand-up while bracing core.

Tempo

1-0-1

Range of Motion

From standing to full plank with straight body, squat with thighs near parallel, explode to maximum horizontal distance with full hip and knee extension on jump.

Safety

Safety Notes

  • Avoid if acute joint pain in knees, ankles, or shoulders.
  • Master burpees and broad jumps separately first.
  • Ensure ample forward space to prevent collisions.
  • Land with bent knees to absorb impact.

Spotting

Not required; perform in open space with no spotter needed.

Common Mistakes

  • Arching back in plank.
  • Landing stiff-legged.
  • Rushing transitions without control.
  • Allowing hands more than one foot from feet.
  • Failing to engage core on landing.

When to Avoid

  • Acute shoulder impingement
  • Knee or ankle instability
  • Lower back pain
  • Recent surgery on lower body

Flexibility Needed

  • Ankle dorsiflexion for squat depth
  • Shoulder flexion for plank stability
  • Hip mobility for full extension

Build Up First

  • Mastery of basic burpee
  • Proficiency in broad jump
  • Core stability competency
