"The next exercise I am going to do for you is called the jump squat and that is exactly what we are going to be doing. You are going to take your feet at least shoulder with the part, navel to spine. This is also a plyometric exercise so this is going to take a lot out of you. You are also going to get some cardiovascular working there. Navel is tight, abs are tight. Again, you are sticking your butt back as if you are sitting in a chair. Knees over ankles, hands in front of you or on your hips and you are going to push through your heels and jump and land into a squatting position. It is very important that when you land, your knees do not come forward. You want to make sure that your knees are over your ankles and that you sit back in that chair. So you are going to land on your toes then pushing the weight back to your heels. Pay close attention to my feet for the first couple. Here we go. Make sure you drop those boots back. "
