Equipment
Begin the exercise by performing a regular squat, bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you're about to sit on a chair.
Once you reach the lowest point of your squat, use your feet to explode upwards, jumping as high as you can.
As you land, control your body to smoothly transition back into the squat position, absorbing the impact with your legs.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Correct Form: Maintain a correct posture throughout the exercise. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees and hips to lower your body into a squat, then explosively jump up. When you land, make sure to do so softly and go directly into the next squat. Keep your chest up and back straight, and don't let your knees cave inwards. Control Your Landing: A common mistake is landing hard on your feet, which can lead to injuries. Always aim to land softly and quietly, absorbing the impact through your legs. Your knees should be slightly bent upon landing. Use Your Arms: Your arms can help you generate more power and maintain balance. As you squat
