Description

The squat hop is a plyometric bodyweight exercise that works your lower body. It's an excellent alternative to regular squats and fires up your legs in an instant. The main muscles worked are the quads and glutes. This move will also strengthen your calves, increase your heart rate, and boost your endurance.

  1. 1Stand with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your hands in guard position. Your knees should stay behind your toes.
  2. 2Hop up and down off of the floor. Place you weight on your heels.
  3. 3Land softly on the balls of your feet.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Keep your knees in front of your toes
  • Come up past parallel when landing on the floor
  • Round your back
