Box Step-Over

Set-up

• Stand facing a sturdy box, about knee height or lower.

How to do it

1. Step one foot onto the box and drive up to stand on top.
2. Step down the far side, one foot at a time.
3. Turn around and repeat in the other direction.
4. Alternate the leading leg each rep.

Coaching cues

• Place your whole foot on the box every time.
• Stay tall and controlled; speed comes later.

Common mistakes

• Stepping onto the edge of the box with only your toes.
• Jumping down from the top.

Safety

• Check the box is stable and won’t tip before you start.
