Lateral Box Jump

Sharpen agility and coordination with side-to-side box jumps.

Lateral box jumps train your ability to generate power from one leg and land with control. They're a great addition to any athletic or lower-body power routine.

Instructions

  1. Stand beside a low box with feet hip-width apart.
  2. Dip into a quarter squat, then explode sideways to jump onto the box.
  3. Land softly with both feet on the box, using your legs to absorb impact.
  4. Carefully step or hop down to the other side and repeat.
  5. Maintain a steady rhythm and avoid excessive upper body motion.
