Lateral Box Jump Overs

Instructions

Lateral box jump overs are a challenging exercise that requires coordination, strength, and agility. Focus on controlled movements and proper form to maximize effectiveness and minimize the risk of injury. Stand beside the box with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the movement. Start by bending your knees and lowering your hips into a partial squat position. Jump sideways explosively on top of the box, using your arms to generate momentum. Tap the top of the box with both feet before landing softly on the ground on the opposite side. Immediately jump back in the opposite direction, clearing the box once again. Continue jumping back and forth over the box in a lateral motion, maintaining a steady rhythm. Start with a manageable number of repetitions and sets based on your fitness level. As you become more proficient, you can increase the number of repetitions and sets.
