This is a great exercise that mimics theactions performed in sports; that is, explosive jumps and atwisting motion in the core. The two direction squat jump willstrengthen the buttocks, calf muscles, quads, and hamstrings. Inother words, get ready to feel the burn.
To perform the jump squat, you have tocombine the jump and the squat. When performing the squat it isimportant to remember that the knees should stay behind the toesand should never go past them. The feet should also remain flat onthe floor when performing a squat.
Another important reminder for performing thesquat is to sit back, as if you were going to sit down. It may feeluncomfortable but that is what will work the buttocks muscles. Justremember, bend at the hips, not the waist. Keep the chest up andthe eyes forward.
