Knee Tuck Jump

A plyometric exercise where you jump explosively and drive your knees up toward your chest during the flight phase.

Instructions

1. Begin in a comfortable standing position with your knees slightly bent. Hold your hands in front of you, palms down with your fingertips together at chest height. This will be your starting position.
2. Rapidly dip down into a quarter squat and immediately explode upward. Drive the knees towards the chest, attempting to touch them to the palms of the hands.
3. Jump as high as you can, raising your knees up, and then ensure a good land by re-extending your legs, absorbing impact through allowing the knees to rebend.

Tips

• Use explosive power from your lower body to generate height.
• Land softly to protect your joints and prepare for the next repetition.
• Maintain control throughout the entire movement.
