Let's review the Rolling Squat to Jump , an explosive exercise that strengthens the thighs , glutes , core and calves . This exercise combines strength and plyometric training, which improves both balance, explosiveness and burn.

Correct technique and execution

How to perform Rolling Squats to Jumps :

  1. Start standing with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Go down into a deep squat and roll backwards onto your back.
  3. Use your core to roll forward back to a standing position and explosively jump up.
  4. Land softly and go straight back into the squat for the next rep.

Common errors

Avoid these mistakes for optimal performance:

  • Incomplete roll: Be sure to roll all the way back before standing back up.
  • Improper landing: Remember to land softly with bent knees to protect the joints.
  • Excessive use of the arms: Focus on the core muscles when you stand back up.

Modifications and variations

  • Roll without a jump: Perfect for beginners who want to focus on balance first.
  • Weighted jump: Hold weights in your hands for extra resistance during the jump.

Sets and repetitions

Start with 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions, and increase as you get stronger.

Breathing technique

Inhale as you roll down, and exhale explosively as you jump up.
