How to Do: Squat Jumps

Squat Jumps

1. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing straight forward. Bring your arms loosely to your sides. Squat down by bending your knees and reaching your hips back as if to sit down in a chair behind you.

2. Throw your arms up in the air and jump as high as you can.

3. Land softly in the same spot you jumped from. Bend your knees as you land so as not to hurt your knee joints. Drop your arms as you land.

4. Hold the landed position with knees slightly bent for two seconds. This gives your ankle muscles and core time to stabilize.

5. Jump nine more times. Rest for 60 seconds and do another set
