The squat thrust is a great lower body exercise that is commonly used in metabolic
workouts to improve conditioning and fat loss. It requires less upper body strength than a burpee, which
includes a pushup in the bottom position.
Stand tall with your feet shoulder width apart and arms hanging at your sides. Bend down and
place your hands on the ground before hopping back into pushup position. Quickly spring your legs
forward to the bottom of a squat and jump back to the starting position.
As you jump back into pushup position, avoid letting your hips sag. Keep your
core engaged the entire time. When hopping back up from the pushup position, try to hop far enough that
your feet land flat on the floor.
