How to perform

Lower chest to the ground by bending elbows, maintaining a straight body line. Press up to a high plank, then jump feet forward into a squat. Swing arms and drive through your feet to jump onto the box, landing softly with bent knees and extended hips. Step down one foot at a time to return to the plank.

Tips

Engage your core muscles consistently to stabilize your torso and protect your lower back throughout the entire exercise. Keep your elbows close to your sides during the push-up to prevent shoulder strain and maintain proper form. Focus on absorbing the impact when landing on the box by bending your knees and hips, which will protect your joints and maintain balance. Actively drive your hips forward as you jump to generate power and ensure a full-range-of-motion jump onto the box. Maintain a straight line from head to heels in the plank position to engage your entire body and prevent sagging or arching.
