How to do it
- Stand a short step back from a stable box with your feet hip width apart.
- Dip into a quarter squat and swing your arms back.
- Jump up and forward, landing softly on the box in a quarter squat with your whole foot on the surface.
- Stand tall on the box, then step down one foot at a time rather than jumping down.
Coaching cues
- Pick a height you can land on comfortably, not the tallest box you can reach.
- Always step down, jumping down adds impact without any benefit.
