180 Degree Jump Squat
Step 1
Plant both feet on the floor slightly further than shoulder width apart. Looking straight ahead, bend at both the hips and knees, ensuring that your knees remain in line with your toes. Continue bending your knees until your upper legs are parallel with the floor. Ensure that your back remains between 45 and 90 degrees of your hips. This is called squat position.
Step 2
From this position, propel your body upwards into the air. Whilst in the air, rotate your entire body 180 degrees.
Step 3
Land in squat position, ensuring that you maintain “soft” knees to prevent injury. Repeat in the opposite direction. Continue alternating between both directions for the specified number of repetitions.
