Bend your knee slightly on the leg that's in contact with the ground, loading it like a spring. Explosively extend your hip, knee, and ankle as you jump upward off the ground. Drive your arms upward to help generate momentum. Simultaneously, lift the hovering foot to help propel yourself upward. Aim to land softly on the box with both legs that you jumped off. Ensure your entire foot is on the box, and your knee is bent to absorb the impact. You can progress to landing on the same leg that you jumped off once you have mastered this first technique. Focus on maintaining balance and stability upon landing. Engage your core and stabilizing muscles to control the movement. Carefully step down from the box with the same leg that you jumped off. Use control and balance to lower yourself back to the starting position. 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. Perform the same number of repetitions on each leg to ensure balance and symmetry in your training.
