When doing a hurkey you might want to do a count of 8 and then start over you would end at 1 so it would be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1. so on 1 2 you should make a clasp elbows in and hands firmly together. On 3 4 you should be i a clasp fully extended above your head, but a little in front of your head. Make sure you are hollow shoulders shrugged and butt and stomach in. On 5 6 you should have hands clinging to the sides of you and in fists. 7 8 you should be in the air doing your hurkey. and on one you should be back into the hands by your side position. Now that you have the counts, the hurkeys the tricky part. So you need to practice. practice kicking one leg out to the side and then bring your feet together and then bring the other leg behind you. do that three or 4 times to stratch out your legs and get the feel of it. then start diong your counts and do both motinos at the same time. =]

I did this the first time and got it right. That was pure luck.

The way we usually do it is the eight count way. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1. On 1 we are standing straight up with our feet together and hands at our sides. This is called set position. 1 2 are in set position. 3 4 have your hands clapped together, elbows in fingers NOT tucked together. 5 6 we do the jump and 7 8 we land. 1 we go back to set position. Remember to smile, it's contagious!

Okay, stand facing a wall about a foot away. Then put your leg as high as it can go against the wall. Or just stretch out your legs with splits, etc.
