Starting Position
Stand on the floor next to a wall, such that the wall is flat with either your right or left side.
Exercise
1. From the starting position, "load into" your jump by bending your knees into a squat position, keeping your weight evenly distributed between your heels and toes at the bottom of the load.
2. From the bottom of the squat, immediately jump up into the air, quickly shoot up your arms, and try to touch the wall as high as you can.
3. Land from the jump with knees slightly bent—landing with your knees locked may cause serious injury.
4. Repeat the jump 10 times on one side; then switch to the other side for 10 repetitions.
