Squat (Jump)

How to do it

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms relaxed at the sides, ready to begin the jump squat.
Bend the knees and hips together to lower into a quarter to half squat, swinging the arms back for momentum.
Drive explosively through the whole foot, extending the hips, knees, and ankles to launch off the ground.
Swing the arms upward as the feet leave the floor, feeling the quadriceps, glutes, and calves power the jump.
Land softly on the mid-foot with the knees slightly bent, absorbing the impact before sinking straight back into the next squat.
Exhale on the way up and keep landings quiet and controlled rather than letting the knees collapse inward.
