Stair Jump
Equipment
Lower your body into a squat position, swinging your arms back to help generate momentum.
Using your legs and arms, explosively jump up onto the first or second step, landing softly in a squat position.
Carefully step back down to the starting position and repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions.
Always ensure to engage your core and maintain good posture throughout the exercise to prevent injury.
Pro Tip
Correct Form: Ensure you have the correct form when performing the exercise. Your feet should be hip-width apart, and when you jump, try to land softly to minimize impact on your knees. A common mistake is landing too hard which can lead to knee injuries. Use Your Arms: Use your arms to help propel you upwards. Swing them forward as you jump, and bring them back as you land. Many people forget to use their arms, but they can give you extra momentum. Start Small: If you're new to Stair Jumps, start with a smaller set of stairs. As you become more comfortable and your strength increases, you can move on to higher stairs. A common mistake is starting with stairs that are too high, which can lead to injuries
