Jump Box
Equipment
Bend your knees and push your hips back while swinging your arms behind you, preparing to jump.
Using your whole foot, not just your toes, powerfully push off the ground, swinging your arms forward and propelling your body onto the box.
Try to land softly and quietly with your knees slightly bent, absorbing the impact.
Stand up straight, then step back down to the starting position and prepare for the next jump.

Your knees should be slightly bent to absorb the impact. Avoid locking your knees as this can lead to injury. Use Arms: Use your arms to generate momentum. Swing them forward as you jump and pull them back as you land. This not only helps you jump higher but also maintains your balance. Step Down, Don't Jump: Another common mistake is jumping back down from the box. This can put unnecessary strain on your knees and ankles. It's safer to step down one foot at a time. Progress Gradually: Start with a low box and gradually
