How to do the Linear Depth Jump

  1. 1

    You will need two boxes or benches spaced a few feet away from each other. Begin by standing on one box facing towards the other platform.

  2. 2

    To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.

  3. 3

    Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.

  4. 4

    Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.
