Single-Leg Stride Jump
Step onto a low box and bound forward off that one leg, the free knee driving up; land soft on the floor beyond it.
How to do it
Setup
Stand facing a low box, a stride behind it, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Step one foot onto the box, the other leg hanging behind it.
- Drive off the box leg and bound forward, the free knee swinging up.
- Land soft beyond the box on bent knees, then walk back.
Common mistakes
Pushing off the trailing foot: the box leg does the jump; the back foot only lets go. Reaching too far and landing on straight legs: land within control, knees bent. Box too high: a low step is enough.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale walking back.
