How to Increase Endurance With Jump Squats
Because endurance has a direct co-relation to strength, when you become stronger, you should notice improved performance and stamina. Although many sports demand whole-body power, the lower body serves as fuel for the rest of the body to explode with strength. Increase endurance with jump squats, using only your own body weight to perform the exercise. By performing jump squats, you can become stronger and more powerful.
