Squat Jump And Reach

How To Do A Squat Jump And Reach Correctly

The Squat Jump and Reach is an excellent plyometric exercise that can improve your athleticism and jumping performance.

This exercise helps build explosive leg power in your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, as well as elevating overall fat burning.

To get started:

1. While standing with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms down by your sides, push your hips back and slightly bend your knees to a ¼ squat position.
2. Then with power, quickly explode up by extending your hips forward, press your feet through the ground, and lift both of your arms overhead, as you jump as high as you can.
3. Cushion your landing by keeping your knees soft, as you move directly back into the squat, then immediately explode back up into the jump again.
4. Repeat for reps.
