Kneeling to Box Jump
Jump from tall kneeling onto both feet, stand, then jump onto the box; two jumps, the first one driven by the hips alone.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling tall on a mat facing a low box, arms raised in front.
Steps
- Swing the arms and pop both feet under you into a squat.
- Stand up, dip and jump onto the box.
- Land soft, stand tall, step down and kneel back down under control.
Common mistakes
Landing the pop on the toes: whole feet flat under the hips. Rushing the box jump from the squat: stand and reset between the two jumps. Jumping down off the box: step off.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale on the step-down.
