1. Starting Position: - Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. - Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Preparation: - Lower your body into a quarter squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back. - Keep your chest up and eyes looking forward. - Swing your arms back behind you to prepare for the jump.
3. Jump: - Explode upward by pushing through your heels and engaging your core. - As you jump, swing your arms forward and up to gain momentum. - Try to jump as high as you can, extending your body fully.
4. Landing: - Land softly with your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact. - Aim to land in the same position as your starting stance, feet shoulder-width apart.
5. Repeat: - Take a moment to recalibrate and reset your position before performing the next jump. - Perform 8-12 repetitions depending on your fitness level.
Tips: - Focus on using your legs and core for power. - Keep your landing quiet by controlling your descent. - If you're new to this exercise, start with smaller jumps and gradually increase your height as you gain confidence.
