Overview
How to do it
- 1
Set up by sitting on the floor with your upper back pressed against a bench or platform.
- 2
Drive your hips slightly upward off the ground. Bring your hands together in front of your chest. Use this position for stability and support during the movement.
- 3
Next, raise your left foot off the floor while keeping your right foot solidly planted. This is your starting position for the explosive jump.
- 4
Explode upward by pushing hard through your right foot and driving the movement with your glutes.
- 5
At the top of the jump, focus on contracting your buttocks to produce as much power and height as possible.
- 6
Your landing matters as much as the takeoff. Land softly on the floor with your right foot. Maintain a slight bend in your right knee to help absorb impact and stay balanced.
- 7
Once you land, lower your hips back down with control to the starting position, keeping them elevated for the entire exercise.
- 8
Finish the required reps on your right leg, then repeat on your left leg.
