Squat Jack
Stay low in a half squat and jump the feet wide and back together; the legs never straighten between jumps.
How to do it
Setup
Half squat, feet together, hands clasped at the chest.
Steps
- Jump the feet out wide, sinking a little deeper.
- Jump them back together without standing up.
- Keep the chest up and the hips low throughout.
Common mistakes
Standing up between jumps: the squat is the exercise; stay low. Knees caving as the feet land wide: push them out over the toes. Landing flat and heavy: stay on the balls of the feet.
Breathing
Exhale on every jump; keep the rhythm.
