Instructions
1. Stand with a bench or stable elevated surface to your side. Begin by balancing on the leg closest to the bench.
2. Bend the knee slightly on your standing leg to enter a semi-squat position. Engage your core for balance.
3. Push through your standing leg and use the foot on the bench to help propel yourself upward and off the ground. Swing your arms for additional momentum.
4. Try to jump as high as possible, maintaining your balance throughout the movement.
5. Land softly and with control, absorbing the impact with your leg muscles, and return to the semi-squat position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.
Make sure to warm up properly before beginning this exercise to prevent injury, and focus on maintaining form throughout each rep. It's essential to land softly to reduce stress on your joints.
