Instructions

Starting Position

  • Stand tall with feet together on a mat.

  • Keep your chest up, core engaged, and hands held comfortably in front of your chest.

The Movement

  1. Out Phase: From the standing start, jump both feet outward simultaneously to a wider-than-shoulder-width stance.

  2. Squat Phase: As you land, immediately lower your hips into a shallow squat, ensuring your knees track over your toes and your weight stays through your heels.

  3. In Phase: Without pausing at the bottom, explode upward and jump your feet back together to the starting position.

  4. Repeat: Continue jumping in and out rhythmically for your desired amount of time or reps.

Form Tips

  • Soft Landings: Maintain a soft landing to minimize impact on your joints.

  • Core Stability: Keep your abs braced throughout the entire movement to protect your spine.

  • Tempo: Focus on speed and rhythm; this is intended to be a high-intensity cardio movement.
