How to perform

Hinge at hips, bend knees to squat, pushing knees outward against the band until thighs are parallel. Explode upward, driving through heels to jump, swinging arms forward. Land softly on the balls of your feet, immediately returning to the squat position. Repeat the jump continuously, maintaining an upright torso and knees aligned over toes.

Tips

To maximize band engagement, actively push your knees outward against the resistance throughout the squat. Focus on driving powerfully through your heels during the jump to generate upward momentum and fully extend your hips and legs. When landing, absorb the impact by bending your knees and hips, landing softly on the balls of your feet to protect your joints. Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to stabilize your torso and maintain proper form. Keep your chest lifted and your back straight to promote a strong, upright posture and prevent lower back strain.
