How to do squat jump

Squat jumps are a great exercise and a form of aerobic fitness. It can not only improve our leg strength, but also improve the elasticity and starting speed of leg muscles, and can also help with weight loss. In short, doing a few sets of squat jumps every day has many benefits. However, many people often do squat jumps incorrectly, which fails to achieve a good squat jump effect. Let's take a look at how to do a standard squat jump.

Standard squat routine

The practitioner puts his hands behind his back, squats down to the bottom, and then stands up quickly. Raise your arms above your head and stretch them. You should be able to feel your abdominal muscles stretching. Bend your back and touch the soles of your feet with your hands. Do squats and then return to the original standing position.

How to do deep squats

Stand tall with your head and chest out. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, feet parallel, toes pointing forward. The soles of the feet can also be separated at a certain angle, about 60 degrees, but the direction of the knees should be kept consistent with the direction of the toes when squatting. Slowly squat down until the angle between your thighs and calves is less than 90 degrees, but do not relax them tightly together. About 70-80 degrees is enough. Then push up with the front of your thighs until you are standing straight.

Things to note when doing squats

1. When doing squats, if you do them too fast, too many times, or use explosive force and rebound force, you will injure your knee joints. Some people often combine squats and running together, which is the most harmful to the knees.

2. Bend your legs and squat down, keeping your eyes on the ceiling. This is to ensure that your torso always keeps a vertical downward movement during the squatting process, and you do not make the wrong movement of bending over and sticking out your butt.

3. When squatting, the direction of the knee joint should be consistent with the direction of the toes. It cannot be turned inward or shake. Pay special attention to this point. Only in this way can the knee joint conform to exercise physiology. Be aware of this no matter what you do in the future. If the direction of the knee joint is inconsistent with the direction of the toes, the knee joint will be injured.

The above is a detailed introduction to the standard practice of squat jumps. However, it should also be noted that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not perform squat jumps as they may easily suffer from insufficient blood supply to the brain. Doing a few sets of standard squat jump exercises every day is more beneficial to your physical and mental health and can also give you a good workout. Do more exercise and you will become healthier and healthier.
