Jumping with resisted hip abduction (Jumping, on the spot, into a squat, with narrow/wide landings, with band)

Stand up straight with your legs hips width apart and tie a resistance band just above your knees.
Make sure there is some light tension in the band.
Bend your knees and hips, keeping your back straight as though you are coming down into a squat.
Jump into the air, exploding through the balls of your feet, your knees and your buttock muscles.
Move your legs apart against the resistance of the band so that you land with your feet wide.
Control the landing by taking the load through the balls of your feet, bending at the ankles, the knees and the hips.
Aim to land back in a squat position with your back straight and your knees travelling directly forwards over your toes.
Hold this position and repeat the movement, jumping up directly from the squat and landing with your feet back in the original position, hips width apart.

Required equipment: Resistance band
