How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.

Perform a regular bodyweight squat, then explode upward into a small jump, land softly, and immediately go into the next squat. Builds power and conditioning.

Option. No jump — just stand tall quickly for a lower-impact version. Land with soft knees every time.

Stop if. Form gets sloppy; switch to regular squats.

Show the steps
  1. 1

    Stand with feet shoulder-width, then lower into a bodyweight squat with chest up and core braced.

  2. 2

    From the bottom, drive hard through the feet to explode upward into a small jump.

  3. 3

    Land softly with knees bent, absorbing the impact, and immediately flow into the next squat.

  4. 4

    Keep the landings quiet and controlled — no heavy stomping.

  5. 5

    Use your arms for rhythm if it helps.
