Isometric-Explosive Bodyweight Jump Squat
Isometric-explosive body-weight jump squats increases lower body power, strength, and endurance. The exercise also increases core stability and coordination.
Instructions
Step 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed forward. Interlock fingers behind head with elbows flared out.
Step 2
Descend into a full squat position with thighs parallel to ground for a few seconds.
Step 3
Quickly drive through the heels, jumping off ground as high as possible, keeping hands behind the head. Land softly and return to starting position.
Trainer's Tips
- Do not let the knees cave inward on the jump or landing.
- Make sure you pause in the full squat position to dissipate any momentum you have.
- Be sure to jump as explosively as possible.
