How to do it

Stand on one leg. Hop a short distance forward or to the side and land on the same leg absorbing the landing through the hip and knee. Hold the landing still for a moment before the next rep. Keep the knee tracking over the toes and do not let it collapse inward. Keep the hop small until the landing is silent and stable
