Box Jumps 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. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Diggy Lloyd
