watch for these things

  • Stay light on the balls of your feet, heels barely kissing the floor with each landing.
  • Keep a soft bend in your knees so every landing is absorbed quietly instead of jarring.
  • Reach your arms fully overhead with straight elbows, hands meeting or nearly meeting above your head.
