Jump Squat

from Tim Skafidas

Directions
From a standing position drop into a squat, then pop the hips up exploding off the toes. Land light and repeat this same explosive movement. Keep in tune with your form, and stop with any knee discomfort. Keep your gaze up and a neutral spine. Breathe out as you jump up.
Helpful tips and Tricks
Do low reps until you know your body can handle the impact. Always listen to your body and concentrate on form and proper breathing.
Why it works
Using the elastic power of your muscles, this exercise will challenge your breathing and heart rate.
