"This sequence happens with jumping, except you're not leaving the ground with this exercise," Dr. Malek explained. "It's a great option for those who can't jump but want to achieve that full extension through the leg. You can speed this up for a 30 second burst of cardio in the workout, too.

• Repeat the same set-up as a regular half-squat.
• Then upon coming up, come up onto toes by squeezing the glutes and calves.
• Perform 3 sets of 12, with 30 seconds rest in-between.
