Lateral Box Jump
Muscles involved
When you master the Lateral Box Jump, the sense of explosive power is completely unmatched. Working strictly with your body weight, the secret isn't jumping blindly, but gaining absolute confidence in your technique from the very first takeoff. You can feel your quads and glutes absorbing force and propelling you sideways, while your calves provide that crisp push needed to clear the height smoothly. A great set feels rhythmically quiet, landing with soft knees and staying perfectly balanced before driving to the other side. That effortless flow shows you are building real athletic agility and total body control.
How to do it
1. Position yourself sideways next to a bench whose height is proportional to your knee. 2. Press with your heels and jump onto the bench, landing with your feet together and knees bent. 3. Maintain balance for a moment on the bench, contracting your glutes and core. 4. Jump to the other side of the bench and repeat the movement continuously.
