squat jumps
Squat jumps are a dynamic exercise that combines a traditional squat with a jump. To perform a squat jump, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, then explode upward into a jump, landing softly back into the squat position. This movement helps build strength and power in the legs.
This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, while also engaging the core for stability. Squat jumps can be included in various workout routines, such as HIIT or strength training, to enhance cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance.
