Land with both feet simultaneously, ensuring that your weight is evenly distributed. Keep your torso upright and your chest lifted throughout the movement. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability and balance. Avoid excessive leaning forward or backward during the jump and landing phases. After landing on the box, ensure that you're balanced and stable before stepping down.
