How to do a kneeling jump squat

  1. Start in a deep squat with thighs parallel to the floor and arms extended forward
  2. Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout the movement
  3. Explosively drive through your heels to jump straight up
  4. Land softly on the balls of your feet, immediately sinking back into the squat position
  5. Maintain control during the landing phase to absorb impact
  6. Continue the jumping motion in a rhythmic, controlled manner

Form tips

  • Focus on landing softly to reduce impact on knees and joints
  • Keep your knees aligned with your toes during both takeoff and landing
  • Maintain an upright torso position throughout the entire movement
  • Use your arms for momentum and balance during the explosive phase
  • Control the landing by engaging your core and leg muscles
