Lateral Box Jump
Equipment
Bend your knees slightly, push your hips back and swing your arms back to prepare for the jump.
Using the momentum from your arms, push off with both feet and jump sideways onto the box, landing softly and with control.
Balance yourself on the box for a moment before jumping back down to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise on the other side by turning around and jumping in the opposite direction.

Each jump should be controlled and deliberate. This will not only help
