Hurt

I have been exercising lately and this exercise hurts the most out of everything I have been doing.  Try doing just ten of them, your thighs will be so sore. You can do it as you see above or like in the video below.  I did a variation where you bring your arms straight up in the air.  You can also do it while holding weights.

Now throw in a push up right before the jump squat and you'll be doing one of the things we called "Burpees"......

I think I would rather be out of shape.   :p  The jump squat alone kicks my ass, that is why I save it for last.

Love these.  Back when I was rowing, we would do our 90 min to 2 hr practice on the water, put the boats up and do "jumpies" in a big circle.  3 sets of 50, followed by a 3-5 min wall sit.  Wish I could do that now...

Three sets of 50?  That is crazy. You must have had rock hard thighs.

Used to do those every morning in Basic and when I was stationed at Ft Campbell. Saying they suck is being kind. Everytime I did those I swear I could feel my legs jam into my back.

We did those in bootcamp, too, even way back in 75. Burpies seem worse because the tempo is usually a bit faster than the eight count body builders. We always wound up doing the burpies at the Navy Judo camps and they were a standard at SAR school.

I can't do those, doctor's orders. When I left the hospital, they told me, no heavy lifting or strenuous activity. I told them "not a problem".  :lmao:
