How To Do Box Jumps Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
Box Jumps are a great exercise to help build power, athleticism, and prime the nervous system to get stronger.
This move targets the muscles in your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves.
To get started:
- Stand in front of a box with both feet firmly planted into the ground.
- Raise your arms up, swing them back while pushing your hips back, then explode up by extending fully at the hips while swinging your arms back up.
- It’s important to land softly with both feet on the box and stick the landing in a squat position, chest up, eyes forward, with your abs contracted.
- Step off the box onto a shorter box rather than jumping directly down to the floor to minimize strain on the knees.
- Repeat.
