Plyo Sit Squat

Plyo Sit Squat Instructions

Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes slightly pointed outward.
2. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted.
3. Your arms can hang naturally by your sides or be bent slightly at the elbows.

Movement Instructions:
1. Squat Down: Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you are going to sit down in a chair. Make sure your knees are in line with your toes and do not extend beyond them.
2. Pause in Squat: Go down until your thighs are parallel to the ground (or as low as you can comfortably go) and hold the position for a brief moment.
3. Explode Up: From the squat position, push through your heels and explode upward into a jump. Swing your arms upward to gain momentum.
4. Land Softly: As you land, bend your knees to absorb the impact and transition smoothly back into the squat position.
5. Repeat: Perform the sequence continuously for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Focus on maintaining proper form throughout the movement to prevent injury.
- If you are a beginner, you can start with regular squats (without jumping) and progress to the plyometric version as you build strength and confidence.
- Breathe out as you jump and inhale as you lower into the squat.
