Not Vibing with jump squats?
Research in the area of intermittent hypoxic training shows that you can go as low as 20% of your maximum effort, which is pretty low intensity, and still achieve the benefits that you get from high intensity exercise.

As fun as they are, they might not be for you due to the high impact, and the core stabilization that is necessary to perform such an intense movement
I’ve been researching hypoxic training for years, and I’m about to open an Altitude chamber up in the Bronx… Stay tuned for that!
In my research with the universities, we’ve been asking the question: can we use breath work to achieve a similar blood oxygen window that is seen in traditional altitude training? The answer is yes.
Try a bodyweight squat instead in which human manipulate your breathing instead to add the intensity that your body benefits from
It’s optimal to keep your blood oxygen Between 80 and 90%, which is the Goldilocks’ zone, that’s not too much or too little, to achieve an adaptation in the body. If you have one of those little $15 pulse oximeter, that will do just fine.
You can even add a breath-hold at the end of your exhale if you dare!
Try this: set a stopwatch on your phone, and see if you can maintain an eight or 10 second exhale in conjunction with slow motion squats… Body weight or lightweight. The key is that you are doing between 15 and 20 repetitions to achieve the goal of performing lower intensity, lower impact exercise with slow breathing to achieve low stress, but high benefit, hypoxic training.
Have a beautiful day! Many times, the key to a calm mind is adding focused intensity at the top of the day. Controlling your breathing in conjunction with movement could be just that for you! Try my method free at the link below!
