CrossFit Box Jumps

Box Jumps are a staple in Crossfit and a exercise that will always push you.  The Box Jump is classified as a
plyometric exercise that helps develop explosive power.


 
TECHNIQUE
1. Stand in an athletic position, with your feet shoulder-width apart, at a comfortable distance from the box.
2. When you’re ready to jump, drop quickly into a quarter squat, then extend your hips, swing your arms, and push your feet through the floor to propel yourself onto the box.
3. Don’t “stick” your landing. Instead, envision the way cats land when they jump from something—you, too, should try to land this quietly.
