How to do it
Descend to at least parallel depth in each squat before jumping.
- 1
Begin in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart and palms together at chest level.
- 2
Lower into a squat position.
- 3
Push through your heels to explosively jump up while pushing your palms together in a 'prayer' motion.
- 4
Land softly back into the squat position and repeat.
Expert tip
Ensure you keep your elbows close to your body during the push to maximize tricep engagement. Use your legs to power the jump and land softly to protect your joints.
