Pike Jump

How to do it

Stand tall with feet hip width apart and arms relaxed at the sides.
Bend the knees and hips into a quarter squat to load the legs before jumping.
Drive through the quadriceps, glutes, and calves to jump straight up while lifting both legs out in front.
Reach the hands toward the shins or toes at the peak of the jump, folding briefly at the hips into a pike shape.
Extend the legs back down and land softly on the balls of the feet, bending the knees to absorb the landing.
Reset to the standing position between reps before starting the next jump.
