Linear Depth Jump Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Linear depth jump focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- 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.
- To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.
- Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.
- Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.
