*Hand walk to push up/jump squat combo

Print this exercise

This a challenging core, chest, leg, balance strength and conditioning exercise. You may start at any point in the exercise you like. In the video, Jen starts with a jump. I (Matt) like to start with the hand walk out to push up, so I'll describe the exercise from there.

Begin in a standing position. Squat down as if you are doing a hamstring stretch, keeping your knees fairly straight while reaching both hands to the floor. When your hands are to the floor, begin to walk one hand after the other until you are in the push up position. Do one full push up. Now reverse your hand walking until you are back to the hamstring stretch position. From this point, lower your butt slightly in preparation and then complete one full jump squat, reaching your hands up as you explode into a jump. After landing, begin your next repetition by reaching your hands back down to the floor while keeping your legs fairly straight in the hamstring stretch position.

*Hand walk to push up/jump squat combo is a great exercise for kids

Kids may need to make the push up easier by going down to their knees.
