- Erect trunk, but with a slight flexion of knees and hips.
- Flex your hips and knees, bringing your arms back and keeping your abdomen engaged.
- Explode up and forward, quickly extending the hips, knees, and ankles, and on top of the box, land with both feet at the same time, with a slight bend in the knees and hips.
- Stand in a stable position, with your torso upright and eyes forward, descend from the box in a controlled manner and repeat.
Tips
- Use a stable and secure box, and for beginners, a lower box.
- Keep your abdomen contracted.
