Jump squat

Start in a squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower into a squat, then explosively jump upwards, reaching as high as you can. Land softly back into the squat position and immediately repeat. Keep your chest upright and knees behind your toes during the squat. Engage your core while jumping.
