How to do it

  1. Start in a squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands mimicking holding a basketball.

  2. Thrust upwards explosively from the squat position to jump, extending your legs and arms as if shooting a basketball.

  3. Land softly with your feet flat on the floor, bending your knees to absorb the impact.

  4. Return to the squat position and repeat the movement.

Form tips

  • Maintain a consistent squat depth to ensure proper form and muscle engagement throughout the exercise.

  • Focus on using your legs to generate power for the jump, not just your arms.

  • Keep your movements controlled to prevent injury and maximize muscle activation.
