Try not to pause between jumps or sink down into a squat position. Depth Jumps 1. Begin by standing on the box with toes close to the edge, feet shoulder-width apart. 2. Step off (do not jump off) box and land on both feet. Immediately jump up as high as possible and reach up with both hands toward the sky. The jump should be vertical with no horizontal movement. 4. Ground contact time should be short. Landing should be soft. Note: Start with a shorter box. Intensity can be increased by gradually increasing the box height.
