Squat and stretch jump alternating ► squat jump

Individual work

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks approximately at knee height), arms supported on your hips, folded across your chest or in front of you at chest height, jump up slightly, cushion the jump (bend your knees slightly) and return to the starting position.

Attention:
Bring your buttocks back, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times.

Lighten:
Do not lower your buttocks too low (larger angle in the knees), smaller/less intense/higher jumps.

Harden:
Hold additional weight (on your shoulders, in front of you or with your arms hanging in your hands); larger, more intense/higher jumps.
