The box jump is a multi-joint exercise for explosive power. Choose a height you can land on under control and recover sufficiently between efforts.

Muscle group: Combined

Steps

Stand a comfortable distance from the box with feet shoulder-width apart. Drop quickly into a quarter squat, then extend your hips and legs and swing your arms to jump onto the box. Land quietly and softly by bending your knees and hips, rather than landing with stiff legs.
