28 / FLOOR JUMP

The floor jump is a stationary jump without equipment. You jump as high as you can straight up in the air. As you land, you comfortably absorb the shock with your feet closer together and then take a small hop back and drop back into a three-quarter squat for the next rep. As you get better, you can try landing directly back in the three-quarter squat and immediately starting the next rep without any pause.

GOAL: Slowly eliminate the regressed landing until you can land directly in the three-quarters squat and rapidly repeat the motion. When you can do 20 repetitions with that squat landing, you’re ready to try Box Jumps (29).

1 Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat to about three-quarters depth and spring up, jumping just a few inches forward and landing upright. Remember to keep your ankles, knees, and hips in line the whole time.
