WHAT IS IT

The Jump Squat drops into a squat and explodes into a vertical jump. It builds the leg power and springiness you use on every burpee broad jump and box jump, and it spikes the heart rate fast.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your sides.
  2. 2Sit back into a squat, hips at or just above knee height.
  3. 3Swing the arms and jump as high as you can, fully extending hips, knees and ankles.
  4. 4Land softly on the balls of the feet and let the knees bend to absorb it.
  5. 5Flow straight into the next squat without pausing.
