2)Perform a short squat in preparation for the jump; swing your arms behind you.
3)Rebound out of this position, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump as high as possible. Swing your arms forward and up.
4)Jump over the bench, landing with the knees bent, absorbing the impact through the legs.
