Box Jump

Flexible, strong hamstrings help minimize loss of posture in the backswing, and early extension in the downswing, while also assisting in extending the hips through impact and follow-through

*Safety is important here. Start with a very small jump and process into something higher as you get more comfortable

Starting position:

Get into an athletic position. Knees slightly bent, feet shoulder width a apart.

Movement:

When you are ready to jump, do not take a step, just get into a semi squat position, explode up and land on the balls of your feet.

Finish position:

Very gently land on the balls of your feet, straddling the box corner. Be carful and hold your balance before returning the ground. You can either jump back down carefully, or you can turn around and step down.
