Tips for Performing Semi squat Jump

  • Land Softly: When you land, make sure to do so softly to reduce the impact on your joints. Your knees should be slightly bent when you land. This will help absorb the shock and prevent any knee or ankle injuries.
  • Avoid Leaning Forward: A common mistake is leaning too far forward during the jump or the landing.
