  • 2Bend your knee and push your hips back like you're sitting, keeping your non-squatting leg straight in front of you.
  • 3Spring up and land on the same foot on top of the box.
  • 4Immediately drop back into a squat on the same leg, going as low as you can.
  • 5Repeat the exercise with the opposite leg.

Tips:

  • Keep your core steady throughout the exercise.
  • Engage your glutes as you spring up and land.
  • Make sure your knee doesn't go beyond your toes when you squat.
  • Progress slowly and don't rush the movement to maintain balance and avoid injury.
