Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the quick leap.

How to do it

1. You will need a box for this exerise.
2. Begin facing the box standing 1-2 feet from its edge.
3. By utilizing your hips, hop onto the box, landing on both legs. Ensure that you land with your legs bent and your feet flat.
4. Immediately upon landing, fully extend through the entire body and swing your arms overhead to explode off of the box. Use your legs to absorb the impact of landing.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
