How to progress the exercise
This exercise can be progressed by adding a weight vest. Another possible progression is a single-legged jump squat. Creative progressions include adding a knee-to-chest while jumping, or even a pike. Using a BOSU will add a good balance challenge to this exercise.
Additional Information
Caution must be taken to avoid stress on the knees and hip joints when jumping and landing. The muscles must be properly engaged to absorb the shock of landing, and the core must be engaged to avoid a shock to the spine while landing.
