Instructions
1. Place a looped resistance band just above your knees.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes facing forward or slightly outward.
3. Begin by dropping into a squat position by bending your knees and sending your hips back, ensuring that your knees do not collapse inward and remain in line with your feet.
4. As you reach the bottom of the squat, with thighs parallel to the ground, maintain tension on the band throughout the movement.
5. From the squat position, explosively jump up into the air as high as you can, extending through your hips and legs. Swing your arms to help propel yourself upward.
6. Upon landing, softly reposition yourself back into the squat position, absorbing the impact with your legs.
7. Immediately prepare to perform the next squat jump, making sure to maintain continuous motion for each repetition.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets, resting as necessary between sets.
When performing this exercise, focus on controlled movements, maintaining good posture, and landing softly to minimize impact on your joints.
