Lateral Box Jump

How to do the Lateral Box Jump

1. 1

   Assume a comfortable standing position, with a short box positioned next to you. This will be your starting position.

2. 2

   Quickly dip into a quarter squat to initiate the stretch reflex, and immediately reverse direction to jump up and to the side.

3. 3

   Bring your knees high enough to ensure your feet have good clearance over the box.

4. 4

   Land on the center of the box, using your legs to absorb the impact.

5. 5

   Carefully jump down to the other side of the box, and continue going back and forth for several repetitions.
