How to Do Single-Leg Stride Jump

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the single-leg stride jump.

How to do it

1. Stand to the side of a box with your inside foot on top of it, close to the edge.
2. Begin by swinging the arms upward as you push through the top leg, jumping upward as high as possible. Attempt to drive the opposite knee upward.
3. Land in the same position that you started, using your inside leg to decelerate the impact.

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).
