How to do it
- Begin standing with your knees slightly bent.
- Quickly squat a short distance, flexing the hips and knees, and immediately extend to jump for maximum vertical height.
- As you go up, tuck your heels by flexing the knees, attempting to touch the buttocks.
- Finish the motion by landing with the knees only partially bent, using your legs to absorb the impact.
