Hey there Challengers! It’s Day 31 of the One Exercise a Day Challenge and today’s exercise is a sweaty bet: SQUAT JUMPS. What more can you ask for from a cardio exercise than a great burn in your legs and an excellent way to increase your endurance? Find out how to perform this move in today’s training video.
HOW TO COMPLETE THE WORKOUT
Complete 20 squat jumps for 3-5 rounds. Go on… before your mind gets in the way and starts protesting βοΈπππ€£
HOW TO MODIFY
If your knees aren’t keen on this move, there are two great ways to modify.
- Revisit the classic bodyweight squat from Day 5 of the challenge. If jumps don’t feel right, you can always skip them!
- Try starting in a seated position on a couch or bench. Press into your feet to jump up as demonstrated in the video, but as your feet land, sit down. This will take quite a bit of impact off of your knees. Just make sure not to land too hard. We want to keep your hips and back safe too π
PS – Don’t forget to head over to the Facebook Group when you’re done and share your experience! I’ll see you over there!
Light,
