Begin by squatting down and placing your hands on the ground in front of you, shoulder-width apart. Jump both feet back into a plank position, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Perform a push-up by bending your elbows and lowering your chest towards the ground. You can also modify by skipping the push-up if needed. Jump both feet back towards your hands, returning to the squat position. From the squat position after the burpee, explosively jump upward, swinging your arms for momentum. Clear the box entirely, aiming to jump over it and land on the opposite side. As you land on the other side of the box, absorb the impact by bending your knees and hips to prepare for the next repetition.

Explosively drive through your legs, pushing off the ground to jump upwards. As you jump, swing your arms forward and upward to generate momentum. Aim to land softly on top of the box with both feet, ensuring your entire foot is on the box and your knees are slightly bent to absorb the impact. Focus on landing with control and stability, keeping your balance as you land on the box. Use your arms for balance as needed. Carefully step down from the box one foot at a time or both feet simultaneously, depending on your preference and comfort level. Ensure that you land softly and maintain control as you return to the starting seated position. Start with a manageable number of repetitions and sets based on your fitness level. As you become more proficient, you can increase the number of repetitions and sets.
