Bodyweight Squat Jumps

Also known as Bodyweight Jump Squats

What It Is

An explosive leap from a low position that builds leg power and gets your heart rate up fast.

How to Do It

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Sit your hips back into a half squat as your arms swing back. Swing your arms up and jump as high as you can. Land softly on the balls of your feet and sink straight into the next squat.

Tips

Land as quietly as you can. Keep your knees in line with your toes when you land.
