How to: Double Jump Squat
- Start in a squat position with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees and then explosively jump upwards.
- As you land, immediately go into another squat and jump again.
- Repeat this for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Not landing softly, which can increase impact on the joints.
- Allowing the knees to cave in while jumping.
- Not using full range of motion during the squat.
Modifications
- Perform a single jump squat instead of double jumps.
- Use a lower intensity by jumping less high.
Tips
- Maintain a straight back and engage your core while jumping.
- Focus on landing softly and controlling your descent.
