ok well in my recent tryouts we had to do a toetouch and a herkey so thats good!! this is how you do a toetuch:
Stand with some space in front and behind you. Avoid hitting anything that might cause injury.
Bend at the waist, keeping your legs straight, until you can relax and let your upper body hang down in front of you. This is a good start to let your back flex naturally and prepare for the actual excercise. This may be a good place to start.
Let your arms and hands hang down naturally.
Now, begin to stretch out your arms and try to touch your toes. Keep in balance and go slowly. Muscles do not react well to 'bouncing' motion, but rather slow, stretching motion.
When you are stretched as much as possible without serious pain, (touching or not), count at least to 5 seconds, if not 10 seconds. The longer the stretch, the more effective it will be.
Now, relax and let you body return to 'hanging'. Make sure you are breathing, and comfortable.
In order to return to standing position, flex your knees slightly, and put your hands on your knees. This will ease the pressure on your back, and allow you to stand back up without risk of injury.
Stand straight up with good posture and let your back relax and your muscles return to normal.
Repeat this cycle until your legs and back are slightly tired. The length and extent of your exercise will vary based on your level of fitness.
Slowly increase the amount and extent of toe touching as you are able.
and this is how you do a herkey:
is basically like a toe touchexept instead of 2 legs to each side 1 is 2 the side and the other is bent
i can show you some pics of both jumps if you'd like?
