#BURPEE TUCK JUMPS HOW TO#
The goal with this exercise is not only to be explosive in your jump but to learn how to quickly bring your knees up to your chest. If you are just starting off and your gym provides boxes at a lower height feel free to start with those before scaling up. Lastly, in particular the rebounding box jump, they require explosive calf muscles and stable ankles ( = lots of work for the often overlooked ankle and feet stabilizers). This said it also heavily relies on a strong and active core to ensure you’re not “soft” upon landing which could lead to no reps, or worse injury. The true star of the box jump is your posterior chain: mainly glutes and hamstrings. In Crossfit they are used in a slightly different key as they are programmed usually for a higher number of reps requiring the athlete to become more efficient at moving and therefore conserving energy. Conceptually they teach the body to rapidly extend and contract the muscle fibers.
They are used in athletic training to increase power ( = speed x strength ) for sports that require short bouts of high intensity output such as gymnastics or sprinting. Plyometric exercises, commonly referred to as plyometrics or plyos, are exercises that require muscles to exert maximum force.
