Drills for perfecting your toe touches.

Toe Touch Drills:

• Start off by stretching out. Make sure you are warmed up before you actually throw any jumps to avoid pulling or straining muscles.
• Next do 3 sets of leg lifts: sit in a straddle on the floor, hands are behind you for support (hands should be on the floor, under or near your tail), slightly lean back and lift both legs (about a foot off the floor), keep your legs STRAIGHT, WITHOUT your legs touching the floor lift them 10 times, release, count to 10 for a breather and repeat. Do a total of 3 sets. Leg lifts are hard but it will strengthen your legs and improve the height of your jumps!!!
• After leg lifts we do side high kicks: arms in a T motion, with right leg kick 5 times, breather for for 5 seconds, switch to left leg 5 times.
• Ready to begin: Throw your toe touch, count 5-6-7-8, throw another, then repeat.
