1 to 2 Jump Box

Body WeightIntermediate

The 1 to 2 Jump Box is an explosive exercise that enhances your jumping ability and coordination.

  1. Stand in front of the jump box with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Squat down slightly and swing your arms back.
  3. Jump onto the box, landing softly with your knees slightly bent.
  4. Step back down and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the 1 to 2 Jump Box

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the 1 to 2 Jump Box using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
