Staggered Stance Box Jump

Instructions

A Staggered Stance Box Jump is a plyometric exercise that targets explosive power, balance, and coordination. Begin by standing in front of the box with one foot slightly in front of the other. The front foot should be about 6-12 inches ahead of the other foot. Choose which foot you want to place forward based on your preference or for balancing purposes. Bend your knees slightly and lower your body into a quarter squat position, keeping your chest up and your back straight. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability. Explosively jump off both feet, driving through the balls of your feet and extending your hips, knees, and ankles simultaneously. As you jump, bring your rear foot forward and your front foot backward, switching their positions mid-air. Aim to land softly on top of the box with both feet at the same time. Absorb the impact by bending your knees and hips to cushion the landing. Maintain stability and control throughout the movement. Carefully step down from the box one foot at a time, returning to the starting position. Complete the desired number of repetitions, alternating the position of your feet for each jump.
