How to do it

Setup

Stand facing a box at knee height, an arm's length away.

Steps

  1. Drop through the burpee: plank, push-up, feet in.
  2. Jump onto the box with both feet and stand tall.
  3. Step or jump down on the far side.
  4. Turn to face the box and start the next rep.

Common mistakes

Jumping down onto tired legs: stepping down is the standard for volume. Landing short on the box edge: jump for the middle. Facing away from the box on the burpee: chest toward it every rep.

Breathing

Exhale on the push-up and the jump.
