Squat Jump Begin in squat position and explosively jump upward as high as you can. Land back softly in a squat position and immediately repeat jump until time is up. Keep hands behind head or near your chest to center your body during entire movement.

Split Jump/Plyo Lunge Start in lunge position. Explosively jump off the front leg using calves of back leg to propel body up. While in midair, switch legs so that the back leg is in front during landing. Land softly back into lunge and keep repeating.

Bunny hops. Jump up and as far forward as possible. Kick your feet towards your glutes while in midair. Land, turn back around, and repeat the jump until time is up.

Single Leg Speed Hop - Sounds easy but yes hop on one foot as fast as you can, keeping your core tight and keeping the non standing leg from touching the ground. Switch sides when your two rounds of 20 seconds are up.
