Stand holding a railing or fixed bar. Move onto your toes as you explosively jump up with both legs, kicking your heels toward your bum.
This can also be done in an alternating fashion.

Alt DB Deadlift
Benefit:
Improve neural control, proprioceptive system, grip strength and core control. Strengthens the Glutes, Hammies and lumbar spine.
Movement:
Same movement as the DB Deadlift, we just alternate the weight each time.
Hold the Dumbbel infront of the body as in the video with an overhand grip. Keeping your arms straight and knees slightly bent. Slowly bend at the hip joint, not the waist (sit down instead of hinging at the hips) and lower the weight without rounding your back (Looking forward and not at the ground will help you to avoid rounding your back).
Alternate arms and drive yourself by “pushing” the floor away, squeezing the glutes to pull yourself up without rounding your back and without using your back to assist in lifting the weight. Focus on the leg drive to get you through the movement.
