Begin with your feet shoulder-

width apart. Aim to jump as

high as possible so when you start

to squat down, make sure you

don’t go too low. There isn’t

a set depth for this, but make

sure you are always above parallel.

I prefer to go to about a 1/4 squat

depth. Make sure your feet are

flat on the ground and your

knees don’t cave inwards.

Your back should also be flat. PHOTOGRAPHS: SIMON BARNES

BURN FAT FAST!

SQUAT JUMPS

As you begin the ascent, make

sure you keep your chest upright

and push away from the floor

with your feet.

For this variation of squat jump,

keep your hands together in

front of you so as not to use

them for momentum in a

swinging motion.

When you’re in the air, make sure

your hips and knees are fully

extended with your chest upright.

Your body should be straight by

now and shouldn’t be leaning to

one side. As you land, make sure

you bend your knees to absorb

the pressure and go straight

into the next repetition. Aim

for between 30 to 60 seconds

of these making every rep as

high as you can go.

When it comes to burning fat you don’t want to hang around! Blast your

full body with this speedy yet effective workout from top trainer Dan Tai.
