Box Jump Through the Arms
Hands on a padded box, hop and swing the legs through between the arms, sit briefly on the far edge and slide off to land beyond it.
How to do it
Setup
Standing close behind a sturdy padded box about hip height, hands flat on its top.
Steps
- Hop, lean over the hands and swing the knees up between the arms.
- Pass the legs over the top and sit briefly on the far edge.
- Slide off to land softly on both feet, then walk back round.
Common mistakes
Toes catching the top: tuck the knees higher, or start on a lower box. A box that tips or slides: use a stable, padded one and check it first. Landing on straight legs: bend the knees as the feet touch.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
