Instructions
1. Begin by adjusting the suspension trainer straps so that when you hold the handles, your arms are slightly bent at chest level.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the suspension trainer handles in front of you. Ensure that the straps are taut.
3. Lower your body down into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest lifted. Your weight should be in your heels and your hands should stay in front of your chest.
4. Explosively jump upwards, extending your legs and pushing off the balls of your feet while maintaining a firm grip on the handles.
5. As you jump, keep your arms extended but do not rely on them to pull you up.
6. Land softly back into the squat position to absorb the impact and immediately prepare for the next jump.
7. Perform the prescribed number of repetitions, maintaining proper form and controlled movement throughout the exercise.
Safety Tips: Warm up before starting the workout to prepare your muscles and increase your heart rate. Do not pull excessively on the suspension trainer during the jump; it's there for balance, not to assist in the lift. Always land with your knees slightly bent to reduce impact on the joints. Focus on controlled movements and do not let your knees go too far forward beyond your toes. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability and protect your lower back.
