Tuck Jumps

Technique

Setup

Stand with your feet hip-width apart on a non-slip surface, knees soft and arms ready to swing. Check that you have clear space overhead.

Movement

Dip into a quarter squat and swing your arms, then jump straight up and pull both knees toward your chest at the top. Extend your legs to land softly on the balls of your feet, sink into the landing, and go into the next jump.

Form Tip

Land quietly with bent knees tracking over your toes; if the landings get loud or stiff, rest before the next rep.

Increase Difficulty

Jump higher and bring your knees all the way to your chest, or shorten the pause between reps.

Decrease Difficulty

Reset fully between jumps, or do Jump Squats instead.
