Jumping Pistol Squat
Equipment
Begin to squat down on your standing leg, bending at the knee and hip, while keeping your other leg extended out in front. Remember to keep your back straight and your chest up.
Once you've reached the lowest point of your squat, use your leg and core muscles to explosively jump upwards.

Upon landing, immediately squat down and repeat the process. Remember to land softly to avoid injury.
