Both Wilson and Brodie Gym have sets of Plyo Boxes (jumping platforms), that if used properly can help improve your vertical leap and agility.
In order to safely and effectively use the boxes, remember these general guidelines:
1. Land on top of the box with your full foot. Landing on the edge can shift the box away from you or tilt it over
2. Set the boxes up away from walls or other fitness equipment so if you are unable to successfully complete the jump, you land in a safe place
3. Land softly/quietly both on top of the box and on the floor to limit stress on your knees and hips
Here are some exercises you can try:
