Kneeling Jump Squat

How to perform

To perform the Kneeling Jump Squat, follow these steps:

1. Start by kneeling on the ground with your feet hip-width apart and your toes pointing behind you. Your knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle, and your hands should be placed on your hips.
2. Engage your core and glutes, then explosively jump up from the kneeling position, extending your hips and knees fully.
3. As you jump, swing your arms back for momentum and land softly on the balls of your feet, immediately going into a squat position.
4. Make sure your knees are in line with your toes and your chest is up during the squat portion of the movement.
5. Push through your heels to jump back up explosively into the air, returning to the kneeling position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Make sure to perform this exercise on a padded surface to reduce impact on your knees and joints. Additionally, focus on proper form and technique to prevent injury and maximize the benefits of the exercise.
