Stand tall with your knees slightly bent.
Quickly lower into a half squat and immediately explode upward. Jump as high as you can, driving your knees toward the chest and attempting to touch them to the palms of your hands.
Land softly, absorbing the impact by bending at the ankles, knees, and hips to decelerate the body.
GRASSHOPPER
The grasshopper’s powerful legs are the inspiration for this exercise. This move will torch the thighs, core, and shoulders while increasing athletic performance and hip mobility. Move as quickly as you can while maintaining proper form.
