The jump squat is a dynamic exercise that combines a traditional squat with a jump to increase power and explosiveness. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and your back straight. From the squat position, explosively jump upwards, extending your legs fully and swinging your arms to gain momentum. Land softly back into the squat position, ensuring your knees are aligned with your toes. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
