How to Perform
1
You will need two boxes or benches spaced a few feet away from each other. Begin by standing on one box facing towards the other platform.
2
To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.
3
Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.
4
Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.
