| Stand with your legs in a normal squat position. Lower your body down so that your thighs are parallel to the ground. Explode into the air as high as possible. When you land, lower your body quickly into the parallel squat position. Hold this position for one second and repeat for the required number of repetitions. Upon landing, your feet should be in a strong, dorsi flexed or "toes up" position. Use your whole foot to land and generate power, not just your toes! Maintain good posture in your upper body. Keep your chest and head up. Don't let your shoulders lean out beyond your knees. This can stress your lower back. |
