As you reach the bottom of the squat, explode upward, jumping off the ground. While in the air, quickly switch the position of your feet, landing with your opposite foot forward. Immediately lower your body back into a squat position and repeat the jump, switching your feet again. Continue alternating the position of your feet with each jump for the desired number of repetitions.
