Jump Squat
The Jump Squat is a dynamic exercise that combines a traditional squat with a jump. To perform it, start in a standing position, then lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back. From this position, explode upward into a jump, landing softly back into the squat position. This movement targets the muscles in your legs, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, while also improving cardiovascular fitness.
Jump squats can be included in various workout routines, such as HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or strength training. They are effective for building power and explosiveness, making them popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Always ensure proper form to prevent injury and maximize benefits.
