Dumbbell Kneeling to Jump Box
Kneel with a dumbbell in each hand, stand up, then jump onto the box; the kneel-to-stand makes every jump start from tired legs.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling tall facing a low box, bells hanging at the sides.
Steps
- Step one foot forward and stand up, the other foot following.
- Dip and jump onto the box, bells hanging still.
- Land soft, stand tall, step down and kneel again one knee at a time.
Common mistakes
Dropping onto the knees on the way back: lower one knee at a time onto a mat. Jumping before you are standing and set: stand, then dip. Box too tall for the loaded jump: lower it.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale on the step-down.
