Jump Squats (Kettlebell)

User Rating: / 2
PoorBest 

	Jump Squats performed with a kettlebell are a powerful leg strengthener but should only be down with healthy knees. Perfect the bodyweight version before attempting to weigh yourself down. Explosive power is just one side effect of jump squats. Strong glutes and  a solid core are coming your way when performed over time. Start slow and work your way up.
Purpose/Focus: Strength, Power, Conditioning Body Parts Used: Legs, Core, Shoulders, Arms Difficulty: Medium
