How to do it

Brace your core before each explosive jump.

  1. 1

    Start in a squat position with feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Lower your body into a squat, keeping your back straight and chest up.

  3. 3

    Explosively jump up as high as you can.

  4. 4

    As you land, immediately sink back into the squat position to complete one rep.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Ensure you land softly with your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact and protect your joints.
