How to perform Lateral Box Jump

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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