How to do it
- Stand a short step away from a sturdy box, feet hip-width apart.
- Swing your arms back as you bend your hips and knees into a quick dip.
- Swing your arms forward and jump, landing softly on the box with your whole foot and knees over your toes.
- Stand up tall on the box, then step down rather than jumping backward off it.
- Pick a height you can land on comfortably; landing in a deep squat means the box is too high.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
