Split Jump to Box
Equipment
Next, lower yourself into a split squat position with one foot in front of the other, keeping your front knee directly above your ankle and your back knee pointing down towards the ground.
Using your arms for momentum, push off both feet to jump up and land softly on the box with your feet together, maintaining your balance.
Carefully jump back down to the ground, landing softly in the same split squat position as before, with the opposite foot forward.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, alternating which foot is forward with each jump.
Pro Tip
Proper Form: A common mistake is not maintaining the correct form during the exercise. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line. When you jump, your legs should be split with one leg in front and the other behind. Land softly on the box with your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact. Avoid locking your knees as it can lead to injuries. Use the Right Box: The height of the box is crucial to perform this exercise effectively and safely. If the box is too high, you risk injury from a fall or an awkward landing. Start with a lower height and gradually increase it as your strength and confidence improve.
