How to Perform

  1. 1

    Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and arms extended forward for balance.

  2. 2

    Shift your weight onto one leg (e.g., right) and lift the other leg straight out in front.

  3. 3

    Lower into a single-leg squat (pistol squat) on the supporting leg, keeping your chest up and core engaged.

  4. 4

    From the bottom of the squat, explosively jump upwards, using the supporting leg.

  5. 5

    Land softly on the same leg, immediately transitioning into the next repetition. Complete desired reps before switching legs.
