Exercise Description

The bodyweight jump squat builds explosive power in your legs while torching calories. It combines strength and cardio in one killer move that makes you jump higher and run faster.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out 2. Lower into a squat by pushing hips back and bending knees until thighs are parallel to floor 3. Drive through heels and explode up into a jump, reaching arms overhead for momentum 4. Land softly on balls of feet with knees slightly bent to absorb impact 5. Immediately flow into the next bodyweight jump squat rep without pausing at the bottom

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and core tight throughout the entire bodyweight jump squat movement • Land as quietly as possible to protect your joints and show good control • Don't let knees cave inward - push them out in line with your toes • Use your arms to help generate power and momentum on each jump

Common Mistakes

• Landing with straight legs instead of bending knees to absorb the impact during bodyweight jump squats • Not squatting deep enough before jumping - you need that full range of motion for power • Rushing through reps without proper form during your bodyweight jump squat sets
