Box Jumps

Stand with your feet at hip width, about a foot behind a plyo box or other sturdy elevated surface. Hinge your hips and lower into a mini squat, feeling the weight in your engaged glutes and heels as you swing your arms back. Explosively reverse the motion — extend your hips and legs as you swing your arms forward for added momentum to jump with a powerful hip pop onto the box.
 
Land gently on the balls of your feet with knees soft, then plant your feet on the box. Don’t land with your heels hanging off the box or on your knees and hands. Straighten your legs and drive through your hips to stand tall. Step down one foot at a time, alternating legs after each jump.
