How do you perform Down Up?

  • Start in a standing position, with feet shoulder width apart.
  • Bend the knees and place your hands on the floor in front of you.
  • Take a small leap backwards with both feet until you are in a plank position.
  • The legs are fully extended and parallel to the ground.
  • Bring your feet back to your hands with a small jump, then stand back up.

Common faults

  • Bad coordination.
  • Your plank position is not parallel to the ground.
  • You don’t get up nicely between reps.
