Make every rep count.
- 01
Stand facing the box in an athletic stance: feet about hip-width, knees soft, core braced, and arms relaxed at your sides.
- 02
Dip into a quick countermovement squat (around parallel—don’t sink too deep), swing your arms back, then drive through both feet and swing your arms forward to jump.
- 03
Fully extend hips, knees, and ankles as you leave the floor, then aim to land quietly on the box with both feet at the same time.
- 04
Absorb the landing by bending your hips and knees, keeping your chest up and knees tracking over your toes—don’t let them cave in.
- 05
Step down under control (don’t jump down unless programmed) and reset before the next rep.
