How to perform it

Perform the pattern rhythmically and under control, prioritizing stable landings and a pace you can sustain. Increase speed or impact only while technique remains consistent. Coordinate breathing with the pace and reduce intensity before technique becomes inconsistent.

Tips

Warm up before fast or jumping variations and keep landings quiet and stable. At beginner level, progress time and technique before adding more impact. Keep resistance continuous and avoid letting the cable or band suddenly go slack.
