love love love the rope idea! I've been really nervous about going the next level and this is perfect! Thank you

Thank you! Going to learn how to land softly without the box first!

[ummielove]

Thank you! I want to overcome my fears of box jumps! I will definitely put these moves into practice to do just that! Thank you for this encouraging video!

Yes, I desire to box jump in a few moments/days soon. 😂

Thank you for not making me feel silly for being worried about box jumps. My trainer tried to get me to do it w/ an 18 inch box (I'm 5 foot 2) and I just panicked and kept kicking the box instead 😅 we moved to a 12 inch box but I felt silly

Thank you :)
I nailed my first box jump earlier this week. Great tips :)

I wish you worked at my gym. I love the rope test and may try it, but I think I already know how that would end… I can jump on the 12 inch box, but so what? Everyone else jumps on the 45 inch box like it’s nothing, and so I avoid the 12 inch box so as not to feel even more humiliation in the daily cross training class. I’ll try the rope test tomorrow, when there’s no one in that room. But I know I couldn’t clear it at 45 inches. Thank you for a really good video.

Thank you! This might be very useful! Yesterday at the gym I got the se one hight of the boxes to jumped and i couldn't do it. It felt pretty silly, so much that I'm still thinking about it. Lol.

I am so glad I’m the only who fears these!!!

[demonspawn]

wait wait wait - I'm not the only person who doesn't know how to jump??

[ichhabekeineahnung]

I do wonder how far into the the surface of the box i have to jump. I am kinda jumping on it like a parkourist on the cliffend of the box but with the forefoot landing, but i suppose i should just jump towards the middle of the box.

Do you recommend jumping barefoot? I do all my strength training barefoot, as was pondering whether or not I should put on shoes for jumping.

God loves you! Also please try to turn to God and not sin!
