The jump squat is one of the exercises that will develop power in your legs as efficiently as possible to achieve a great improvement in your athletic performance.

You don't need any equipment to perform it correctly, so you can include it in your daily training. We leave you with a demonstrative video of how it is done correctly:

  • Standing up, spread your legs shoulder-width apart
  • Perform a normal squat.
  • From the bottom position, drive forcefully through your legs so that both feet leave the ground.
  • Land under control and return to the squat position.
  • Repeat the movement as quickly as your technique allows.
