Jump For Joy Squats

To really hit up your cardio, muscular strength, endurance, and power, jump squats are effective and quite the challenge!

-Core/Abdominals (balance)

Daily Use of Muscles

-Jumping (obviously)

-Running/walking/ going up/down stairs

-Kicking

Things to Remember

-Be sure to keep your back straight, pulling your belly button into your spine

-To save your knees and really work the appropriate muscles safely, keep your weight in your HEELS! Do no let your knees go past your ankles/toes; on the contrary, when you squat try to bring your toes off the floor

-You can either use your arms for momentum or to make it harder, bring your hands behind your head

-Breathe!

-Try 3 sets of 8-10 jump squats
