Jump & spring

Power & sport · Just my body · 20–25 min

Power is strength in a hurry — and your own body is a perfect training load. Jumps, springs and fast push-offs, all done fresh and sharp.

How to do it

3–4 sets of 3–6 fast reps. Move as fast as you can, rest a full 1–2 minutes between sets, and stop a set the moment reps slow down.

The exercises

1

Jump squats

3–4 × 4–6

Land softly, reset, jump again — every jump full effort.

2

Explosive push-ups

3 × 3–5

Push fast enough that your hands feel light. From knees is fine.

3

Fast step-ups

3 × 5 per leg

Drive up quick, step down slow.

4

Skips & hops

3 × 20–30 sec

Springy ankles — think bouncing, not jogging.

5

Fast sit-to-stands

3 × 5

Up as fast as you can, down slowly. Sneaky-good power move.

Good to know

Warm up first — a few minutes of easy movement and some practice reps. Power is a skill: quality beats quantity, always. Land softly.
