Instructions

Positioning:
1. Stand on top of the box with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.
3. Ensure your body is aligned vertically, with your shoulders relaxed and arms at your sides or in front of you for balance.

**Movement 1. Take a deep breath in and focus your gaze on the ground where you will land.
2. When ready, step off the box and allow your body to drop freely.
3. As you descend, prepare to land by contracting your muscles. Keep your feet together and aim for a soft landing.
4. Bend your knees upon contact with the ground to absorb the impact. Your hips should drop down as your knees bend, keeping them in line with your toes.
5. Land softly on the balls of your feet, allowing your heels to touch the ground gently afterwards.
6. Maintain an athletic stance with your knees slightly bent and your body leaning slightly forward.
7. After landing, hold the position for a moment to regain balance, then stand tall and reset.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start with a lower box height if you're new to this movement.
- Focus on technique rather than height to ensure safety and reduce injury risk.
- Practice landing softly and with control to improve your overall jumping and landing skills.
