Front Box Jump

Technique

How to perform Front Box Jump

1. Stand facing a stable box at a distance that allows a controlled two-foot landing on its top.
2. Set your feet about shoulder-width apart and bend your hips and knees slightly while swinging your arms back.
3. Drive through your legs and swing your arms forward and upward to jump onto the box.
4. Land with both feet supported on the box and bend your hips and knees to absorb the landing.
5. Stand and reset your balance before returning to the floor.
6. Prefer stepping down one foot at a time; the source's optional jump-down return is a separate landing and should also finish under control.
7. Reset on the floor before beginning another jump.
