Burpee Box Jump-Over
Technique guide
Set-up
- Stand facing a sturdy box, a short step away.
How to do it
- Drop into a burpee facing the box, chest to the floor.
- Jump your feet back in and stand up.
- Jump onto the box with both feet and step or jump down the far side.
- Turn around and repeat in the other direction.
Coaching cues
- Pace the burpees so your jumps stay controlled.
- Land with your whole foot on the box.
Common mistakes
- Jumping at the box while out of breath and off balance.
- Clipping the box edge with tired legs.
Safety
- Use a soft box, and step up onto it rather than jumping when you’re tired.
