Box jumps might look fairly easy, but they take a little work to get right. To get your form right, you'll need to do the following:
- Find an elevated surface or sturdy box and stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees as if to squat, then drive through your heels to propel yourself onto the box. You can swing your arms to gain more momentum.
- Land on the box or raised surface in a squat and straighten yourself into full standing position. Drive your hips forward once you straighten up.
- Step back onto the floor to get back into starting position.
