Squat jumps in ‘n out increase lower body power and coordination. The movement targets the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.
Instructions
Stand with feet together, placing your hands in front of you on your thighs.
Bend your legs, jump up, and separate your feet in mid air.
Land with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, lowering into a squat. Jump up out of the squat and land back in the starting position, bringing your feet together on landing.
Trainer’s Tips
Be sure to jump as high as possible.
Do not land heavily. Use the balls of your feet to cushion the impact.
Do not let your knees cave inward when jumping from the wider stance.
