How to properly perform squat jumps and leg steps?

The movement is performed by:

  • the thighs and glutes

Additionally, it works:

  • the back and abdominal muscles (stabilize the body)

Starting position:

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Pull in your abs, straighten your back. Bend your knees into a half-squat. Bring your hands together at chest level, elbows bent.

Movement: Dynamically straighten your legs by making a small jump and lowering and bringing your straight arms back. Land softly, immediately descending into a half-squat. With a small jump, move your left leg back and to the side, keeping your right leg bent. Jump to the opposite position. On the next jump, return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tip: Feet hip-width apart. Move your leg back and to the side. In a half-squat: knees above your feet, Back straight, stomach pulled in.
