We saved this exercise for the last day because it is a great way to wind down your days activities. It is one last explosive body weight exercise to finish your routine out.
You will want to make sure you have room to do this exercise, and are on a firm floor. You probably don’t want to jump around anything fragile or that could fall off a shelf. The key to this exercise is using your core muscles to explode, you don’t want to hold back on the jumps because you are scared of knocking something over. If it is a nice day this is a great exercise to get out into the yard and do.
It is pretty easy to do, since most of us have been jumping since were kids. If you want to add difficulty the exercise, hold some light dumbbells in each hand (same weight).

• Find somewhere you are comfortable jumping as high as possible.
• Stand up with your knees slightly bent and your feet close together.
• Bend down then jump straight up as high as you can.
• Land with your knees loose to absorb impact.
• As you land go into a squat position and then explode into your
next jump as you rise up. • One jump is one rep.
• Read the squat lesson from Wednesday to figure out what a squat position is
