squat jumps

Crouch-and-launch exercises

Squat jumps are an exercise combining a squat with an explosive vertical leap.

From a standing position, you lower into a squat, then jump upward with force, landing back in the squat position to repeat.

The movement builds leg power and cardiovascular endurance: We finished the circuit with twenty squat jumps.
