Dumbbell Squat Jump Instructions
- Grab a set of dumbbells and hold them down by your side with a neutral grip.
- With your feet around shoulder-width apart, this is your starting position.
- Lower down into a squat by bending the knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor or as far as comfortably possible.
- At the bottom of the squat, begin to push through your heels and explode up. Your feet should be off the ground and flexed at the top.
- Land back on your toes, then immediately shift your weight to your heels. This is one rep.
- Repeat for desired reps.
