Bench jump squats

How to do it

1. 1 Stand tall facing a sturdy bench with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms raised to shoulder height in front of you.
2. 2 Squat down by bending your hips and knees.
3. 3 Push through your feet and jump up onto the bench. Land softly with your knees slightly bent, then step back down and repeat the sequence.

Tips

• Keep your chest up and back straight.
• Keep your knees behind your toes during squatting.
• Make sure the bench is stable and low enough to land on safely.
• Maintain a smooth breathing rhythm throughout this exercise.
