How to do it

  1. 01

    Begin with a box of an appropriate height 1-2 feet in front of you. Stand with your feet should width apart. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Perform a short squat in preparation for jumping, swinging your arms behind you.

  3. 03

    Rebound out of this position, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump as high as possible. Swing your arms forward and up.

  4. 04

    Land on the box with the knees bent, absorbing the impact through the legs. You can jump from the box back to the ground, or preferably step down one leg at a time.

In the app

Front Box Jump needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
