Dumbbell Jump Squat

This progression of the jump squat increases explosive power, strength, and endurance throughout the entire lower body. The exercise also improves core stability and coordination.

Instructions

    Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them at your side with palms facing each other. Position feet into a shoulder-width stance.
  2. Dumbbell Jump Squat
    Drop your hips into a full squat position, while bringing thighs parallel to ground.
  3. 33_C

Trainer’s Tips
