How to do it

  1. 01

    Begin in a relaxed stance with your feet shoulder width apart and hold your arms close to the body.

  2. 02

    To initiate the move, squat down halfway and explode back up as high as possible. Fully extend your entire body, spreading your legs and arms away from the body.

  3. 03

    As you land, bring your limbs back in and absorb your impact through the legs.

In the app

Star Jump needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
