How to do it

Swing both arms forward to help counterbalance each bounce.

  1. 1

    Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Lower into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.

  3. 3

    Instead of rising fully, perform a small bounce at the bottom of the squat.

  4. 4

    Use your quads and glutes to power the bounce.

  5. 5

    Continue bouncing for the desired number of repetitions before standing up fully.

Expert tip

Maintain proper squat form by keeping your chest up and knees tracking over your toes.
