Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your sides.

    • Ensure your posture is upright and your core is engaged.

  2. Squat Down:

    • Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.

    • Keep your chest up and back straight. Aim to get your thighs parallel to the ground if possible.

  3. Jump and Extend:

    • From the squat position, explode upwards into a jump.

    • As you jump, extend your arms straight up above your head.

    • Your feet should come together in the air.

  4. Land:

    • Land softly by bending your knees as you come back down.

    • Return directly into the squat position immediately after landing, ensuring stability.

  5. Repetition:

    • Repeat the jump and squat movement for the desired number of repetitions.

    • Focus on maintaining good form throughout the exercise.

Tips:

  • Start with a lower jump if you are a beginner, gradually increasing height as you become more comfortable.

  • Make sure to focus on breaching the squat position properly each time before jumping.

  • Work on controlling your landing to prevent any knee or ankle strain.
