How to do it

  1. Stand on one leg with the other foot lifted off the floor behind you, knee bent.
  2. Hop on the spot on your standing leg, staying light on the ball of your foot and keeping the hops small, quick and springy.
  3. Your knee stays soft to absorb each landing and your raised foot never touches down.
  4. Complete your reps, then switch legs - and expect the second side to complain about the first one getting to rest.
