split jumps

Leaping leg separations

Split jumps are an exercise or dance move where you jump and extend your legs in opposite directions—one forward, one back—while airborne, like a leap into a split position.

Common in cheerleading, gymnastics, ballet, and fitness training, they build explosive leg power and flexibility: We did twenty split jumps across the floor.
