Jump Box
Perform a jump onto a sturdy box or platform to enhance your explosive power and coordination.
- Stand in front of the box with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower into a quarter squat and swing your arms back.
- Explode upward, driving your knees towards your chest as you jump onto the box.
- Land softly with your knees slightly bent and stand up straight.
- Step back down and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
How to perform the Jump Box
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Jump Box using your body weight.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
Detailed cues, common mistakes, and demonstration video are available in the Fitly app.
