Instructions
1. Begin by standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Lower your body into a half-squat position to prepare for the jump.
3. Explosively jump forward, propelling yourself off the ground, aiming for a distance that challenges you but ensures safety.
4. Land softly on your feet, absorbing the impact through your legs by bending your knees as you land.
5. From the landing position, immediately jump up vertically as high as you can.
6. Land softly again, transitioning into the half-squat position and preparing for the next forward jump.
7. Repeat the sequence of a forward jump followed by a vertical jump for a set number of repetitions or time interval.
8. Ensure to maintain proper form by keeping your back straight, core engaged, and avoiding knee collapse during jumps and landings.
9. Rest between sets as needed, and aim to gradually increase the intensity of the jumps or the duration of the exercise as your fitness level improves.
