Squat Jumps: Boost Power and Explosiveness

Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and arms relaxed by your sides.
- Engage your core to maintain balance.
Lower Into a Squat:
- Push your hips back and bend your knees, lowering your body into a squat position.
- Ensure your thighs are parallel to the floor or lower, depending on your flexibility.
- Keep your knees aligned with your toes to avoid strain.
Jump Upward:
- Drive through your heels and explode upward, straightening your legs.
- Swing your arms upward to generate momentum.
- Focus on jumping as high as you can while keeping good form.
Land Softly:
- Land gently on the balls of your feet and immediately roll onto your heels.
- Bend your knees slightly to absorb the impact and transition smoothly into the next rep.
- Avoid locking your knees or landing with stiff legs.
Repeat:
- Return to the squat position and repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.

Warm-Up: Start with dynamic stretches and light cardio to prepare your muscles and joints.
Alignment: Keep your spine neutral and avoid rounding your back during the squat or jump.
Control: Focus on controlled movements during both the ascent and descent.
Depth: Go as low as your flexibility allows while maintaining proper alignment.
Breathing: Inhale as you squat down and exhale as you jump up.
