Box Jump

Explosive Power

WHAT IS IT

Box jumps develop explosive lower body power and reactive strength. They train your legs to generate force rapidly, which transfers directly to running speed and athletic performance.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Stand facing the box at about arm's length away.
  2. 2Load into a quarter squat, swinging arms back.
  3. 3Explode upward, driving arms forward and pulling your knees up.
  4. 4Land softly on top of the box with both feet, absorbing the impact with bent knees.
  5. 5Stand tall at the top, then step (or jump) down safely — never drop off the front.
