Cast your mind back to the lockdown days when bodyweight circuits in your living room were a common occurrence. For me, my main memory of these at-home workouts were sweaty High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) sessions that involved an awful lot of squat jumps — so many, in fact, my neighbors probably hated me. This excellent bodyweight move gets your heart rate up and torches the muscles in your legs in record time, while also working on your explosive power.
