How to perform The Jump Squat Exercise:

  • Sit back into a squat.
  • Jump up to the starting position.
  • Land with your knees bent to absorb the impact.
  • Pause, reset your body and repeat.

*Note: You could also hold a dumbbell, 5 or 10 pounds, if you're new to this exercise. If totally new, try this without any weight at first, until you're comfortable with the movements and feel ready to add some weights.
