Instructions

  1. 1

    Assume a comfortable standing position, with a short box positioned next to you. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Quickly dip into a quarter squat to initiate the stretch reflex, and immediately reverse direction to jump up and to the side.

  3. 3

    Bring your knees high enough to ensure your feet have good clearance over the box.

  4. 4

    Land on the center of the box, using your legs to absorb the impact.

  5. 5

    Carefully jump down to the other side of the box, and continue going back and forth for several repetitions.
