A box jump workout has a lot of benefits without a lot of equipment. All you need is a stable box, your own body weight, and a few tips on how to do it correctly.
To really benefit from plyo jump box exercise, you’ll find six box jump exercises below and do a series of jumps or hops from low to high intensity. The jumps force your muscles to stretch and contract, effectively whipping them into shape gradually.
Techniques:
1.Place one foot on the plyojump box with your other foot on the floor while keeping your upper body upright.
2.Press your foot on the plyojump box to takeoff yourself up in the air. Land softly with the same foot on the plyo jump box and repeat.
Techniques:
1.Position your feet on the floor shoulder-width apart then look straight ahead, bend at both the hips and knees, ensuring that your knees remain in line with your toes.
2.Propel your body up and forward while drawing your knees into your chest, to land in squat position on top of the box.
Techniques:
1.With one feet on the plyojump box, shift weight from heels to toes as you begin your jump, quickly push upward and sideways toward the other side over the plyo jump box.
2.Repeat jumping back and forth over the plyojump box while keeping your shoulders and hips square and facing forward.
Techniques:
1.Keep your back straightand the elbows are slightly flexed.
2.Jump straight up and extend your entire body. The knees, the ankles, the shoulders and the elbows have to be fully extended. The distance from the fingertips to the toes is as large as possible.
3.Go back to the initial squat on the plyojump box where your knees are bent 90°, and hold this position for 2 or 3 seconds, before you do another jump.
Techniques:
1.Raise your right foot and place the ball of your foot on the plyo jump boxwith your left foot will remain flat on the ground.
2.Push off the ground with your left foot and switch legs mid-air, with your left foot now touching the platform and your right foot on the groundwith arms alternate with your legs like you would do when running.
Techniques:
1.Start with your rightfoot on the ground, left foot on the plyo jump box with a starting position of running.
2.Powerfully explode up, launching the rightfoot off the ground and pulling the right knee into the chest, then land softly. Then repeat this action.
