Coach Jess at DFC CrossFit demos a 30 inch Seated Box Jump.
Why do a seated jump?
– Seated Box Jumps replicate a squat with a load attached (your body), and help you build power.
What’s the benefit of jumping?
– Jumping is one of the most simple and effective ways to develop power.
Points of Performance:
1. Start in a seated position where your hips and knees are parallel to the floor with your feet apart. (close to a squat stance)
2. Raise your arms for momentum to begin the jump then violently swing them down by your sides.
3. Jump onto the box with two feet landing at the same time.
4. Aim to land on the box with your knees bent at or above a squat.
5. Stand up all the way on top of the box then step down.
