How to do it
The jump squat combines a squat and a vertical jump.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower into a squat until your thighs approach parallel.
Drive hard into the floor to jump as high as possible, then land softly on the balls of your feet while transitioning straight into the next descent.
Absorb each landing by bending your knees and keep your knees aligned with your feet.
