1: The Squat (00:42)

The jump squat is really one cool jump rope trick you can learn. The squat you're going to be doing in this trick is not the same as the one you might be used to doing in the gym or at home.

When doing the jump squat, your goal is to keep your weight on the tips of your feet. So in the gym you would usually squat by keeping your legs wide when jumping and opening your knees as you go down.

But when you're doing the jump squat, your legs should be opened at shoulder width. Anything more than that you're just going into a regular squat.

Once you go down into the squat you should be at the tips of your toes. When you're jumping back up, you'll want to keep an angle at your knees at all time. Your legs and quads should be acting as a spring as you go up and down. You should really be feeling the front of your legs activated when doing the jump squat. Don't forget, your knees should be at shoulder width at all time.

2: The Side Swing (01:21)

Now for the second part of the trick which is the side swing. A brief about the side swing.

If you're right-handed, you're going to put your right hand on top and your left hand on the bottom. And you're going to swing to the two sides of your body starting on the right side. So right side, left side, open. If you're left handed, it's the contrary. You left hand on top, your right hand on the bottom and you start swinging on the left then right then you open up.

The thing when doing the jump squat is that when you're going down, you're going to want your hands which are doing the side swings to stay at the same level as they were initially. So as you're going down, you're going to want to slide your hands up so they stay at the same level.

If your hands do go down with your body, you're going to have a lot of cable material, the cable of the jump rope hitting the floor. And this is jump a lot of friction and it might, it might low the rope down, it might get is tangled to your feet. You just don't want that.

For this trick you should open your hands wide because this brings back to the idea of having too much cable material so when you open wide, you're going to have less cable touching the ground, and it's going to give your feet more space to pass.

A common mistake and this might explain why you might now be able to do the jump squat is that when you go down into the squat, your legs are too widely opened.

3: Dangers of the Jump Squat (02:48)

When you do the jump squat, it puts a lot of pressure on your knees. So first thing I would not recommend to do this trick for long periods of time. And if any any time you feel that your knee hurt, I would really recommend that you stop so you don't injure yourself ever further.

4: Pro Tip (03:02)

A pro tip when doing the jump squat. When doing the side swing, I see a lot of people tend to rotate their hips when doing the side swing.

Doing this doesn't really look very elegant. So I would recommend you to when you're doing the side swing simply keep your core tight. Don't let your core or your hips rotate with the side swing.

Keep a strong posture at all time. So that was it guys, the jump squat.
