Dumbbell Jump Squat instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Stand straight with a dumbbell in each hand, held at shoulder level.

Keep the weight mostly in your heels and prepare to lower your body down.

Quickly drop down like you're sitting on a chair, getting your hips below your knees if you can.

Explode back upwards in a jumping motion, pushing through your heels and using the weights to aid your lift.

Upon landing, carefully bend your knees to soften the impact and immediately prepare for the next jump.
