Squat Jump Steps:
Stand with feet hip width apart.
|
Tense the stomach and back muscles.
|
Start the squat by bending at the knees and hips, keeping the back straight.
|
Lower down to a comfortable position, usually where the thighs are parallel to the floor.
|
Explode up from the squat position by pushing against the floor and power through, so the whole body lifts and the feet clear the ground.
|
Land on back on both feet hip width apart, drop down into the squat position and repeat the movement.
|
Ensure that a straight back is maintained at all times throughout the exercise.
