Single-Leg Box Jump
Jump onto a low box off one leg and land on that same leg; the single-leg landing is the hard part.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg facing a low box, the other knee bent, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Sink on the standing leg and swing the arms back.
- Jump onto the box and land on the same foot, knee bent.
- Stand tall, step down and switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Box as high as for two legs: one leg lands much lower; pick a low box. Knee collapsing inward on the catch: keep it over the middle toes. Hopping back down on one leg: step down.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale on the step-down.
