Gate Swings With Cross Start with your feet in a wide, second-position stance, with your toes pointed slightly outward. Bend your knees and lower into a squat, using your hands to help push your knees wide apart to deepen the inner-thigh stretch. Push off your knees to get leverage and jump your right leg in front of your left, landing in a standing cross-legged stance. Immediately jump your legs back out to a wide squat, with your hands at your knees. Push off your knees and jump your legs together, crossing your left leg in front of your right.
