Tips

To maximize power and stability, focus on driving through your heel as you step onto the box, engaging your glutes and hamstrings. Maintaining a tight core throughout the entire movement will stabilize your spine and improve overall control, preventing lower back strain. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes during the squat and plank phases to protect your joints and optimize muscle activation. When jumping or stepping, aim to land softly to absorb impact and minimize stress on your knees and ankles. Remember to alternate the lead leg on each repetition to ensure balanced development and prevent overuse injuries.
