Increase Leg Power with Jump Squats

Jump Squat

Rep Range

15-20

Hints

Start in a standard squat stance holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides. Lower into a squat, ensuring knees don't go past toes. Powerfully push through your heels, jumping into the air while keeping the dumbbells at your sides.

Common Mistakes

Avoid letting knees cave inward. Ensure a soft landing, bending the knees to absorb the impact, transitioning into the next squat.

Breathing

Inhale as you squat down; exhale as you jump upwards. Repeat.
