Box Jump Down with One-Leg Stabilization
Step off a low box and land on one leg, sinking softly into a quarter squat and holding the landing still before the next rep.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall on a low box, feet together at its edge, arms by the sides.
Steps
- Step off the edge, the landing leg reaching down.
- Land softly on the whole foot of one leg, the knee over the toes.
- Hold the landing still for a beat, then step back up.
Common mistakes
Landing stiff-legged: bend the knee and the hip as the foot touches. Knee caving on the landing: track it over the middle toes. Box too high to stick the landing: lower beats sloppy.
Breathing
Exhale on the landing, inhale stepping back up.
