The Squat Jump Tap incorporates both explosive jumps and rotational movement. It strengthens major leg muscles, boosts heart rate, and builds coordination by including a torso twist and a floor tap.
Common Mistake:
- Landing with locked knees, which can increase joint stress and risk of injury.
Tips:
- Land with soft knees to reduce impact.
- Engage your core to stay balanced and avoid lower back strain.
Instructions
- Begin with feet together, knees slightly bent.
- Jump up while spreading legs apart and twisting the torso.
- Extend one arm backward and tap the floor beside your foot with the other.
- Return to start and alternate sides.
