How to Box Jump with Proper Form
- Stand in front of a sturdy box with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Slightly bend your knees and lower into a half-squat while swinging your arms back.
- Explode upward by pushing off the ground with your feet and swinging your arms forward to create momentum.
- Jump onto the box, landing softly with your knees slightly bent, feet fully on the box, and your torso upright.
- Stand up fully once you’ve landed on the box.
- Step, or carefully jump, down and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
