Exercise Description

The jump squat exercise builds explosive leg power and burns tons of calories. It combines strength training with cardio for maximum muscle building and fat loss.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward 2. Lower into a squat position by pushing hips back and bending knees until thighs are parallel to floor 3. Explode upward from the jump squat position, driving through your heels and extending arms overhead 4. Land softly on balls of feet, immediately lowering back into the next jump squat rep 5. Keep your core tight throughout the entire jump squat movement to protect your spine

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and eyes forward during the entire jump squat movement • Land softly with bent knees to absorb impact and protect your joints • Drive through your heels when exploding up from the bottom position • Don't let your knees cave inward during the jump squat - keep them aligned with your toes

Common Mistakes

• Landing with straight legs instead of bending knees to absorb the impact from each jump squat • Leaning too far forward and putting excessive stress on the lower back • Not going deep enough in the squat position before exploding upward
