Box Jump

Box Jump Instructions

• Stand in front of a box of respectful height. When in doubt, pick a smaller box. 
• You are positioned in an athletic stance. Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead.
• The core is braced and engaged. Shoulders are pinned back with your eyes fixated straight ahead.
• Place your feet as if you were about to jump as high as possible.
• In a fluid motion, bend at the knees and hips bringing your arms behind you.
• Explode up onto the box, extending your hips, knees, and ankles while bringing your arms up and forward.
• Land softly on the box in an athletic position:
• Hips back
• Knees bent
• Chest up
• Hand out front

*Tips*

• This is an athletic, rhythmic motion.
• At landing, if you can hear your feet hitting the box, land softer.
• Don't look to jump on the tallest box, instead try to jump as high as you can on a smaller box.
