How to do:

Explosively push through your heels and jump as high as possible. 4. Land softly on the balls of your feet, immediately lowering back into a squat position. 5. Repeat for 10-12 reps per set. 6. Complete 3-4 sets total.

Tips:

- Keep your chest up and back straight throughout the movement. - Focus on a controlled landing to reduce impact on your joints. - Use a lighter weight if necessary to maintain proper form. - Engage your core to improve balance during the jump.
