Exercise Steps

	Stand with your legs at shoulder width apart. Hold the rings with your arms fully extended, and lean back at a 45-degree angle from the ground.
	Drop your hips towards the ground, bending at the knees. Try to keep your shins completely vertical as you squat.
	Explode off the squat and jump into the air at a 45 degree angle, keeping your arms fully extended throughout the duration. Land on the balls of your feet, absorb the impact with your legs, and drop your hips into the next rep.
	It is important that you absorb the impact of the landing with your entire body. Landing hard will cause stress on your ankles, knees, and hips.
