Box jump: how to do it

1 of 5

Stand close, feet hip-width apart

  1. Starting position

    Stand in front of the box with your feet hip-width and close enough to reach it with a controlled jump.

  2. The movement

    Bend your hips and knees, swing your arms and jump up, land softly with both feet on the box, stand and step down.

Most common mistake

Don't let your knees cave in as you land, point them over your toes and land softly on your whole foot.
