Box Jump
The Box Jump is a plyometric exercise that involves jumping onto a sturdy platform, typically a box or a bench. It helps improve explosive strength, agility, and coordination. To perform a box jump, an individual stands in front of the box, bends their knees, and uses their arms to propel themselves upward, landing softly on the box with both feet.
This exercise can be modified by adjusting the height of the box or adding weights to increase difficulty. It is commonly used in CrossFit and other fitness programs to enhance athletic performance and build lower body strength. Proper technique is essential to prevent injury.
