Box jumps are a staple in many agility centered workouts. Kyle Heier is taking that, and moving it to another level.
Bare in mind the training that goes into accomplishing this type of exercise. Safety is always a priority when you are fitness training or training for sports. Have someone with you to spot this exercise, and make sure you have built the confidence to make the leap.
In the last leg of the video, Kyle Heier mounts a medicine ball on top of the aerobic steps. The risk involved is in excess, but there is no shortage of cravings when it comes to these kinds of challenges.
If you are thirsting to take on the challenge, we would urge you to start by making sure you have the proper technique from the ground level. Place a medicine ball at your feet and against a wall. This will allow you to use the wall as support when landing your first jump. Keep your feet close together on the floor in preparations to jump. This will help in keeping them together throughout.
Your hands are an important asset in placement for overall balance. In the video, you can observe Kyle placing his hands out in front of his body, and maintaining that position as best as he can. This allows him to keep his entire body in the proper position throughout the jump by keeping his weight over his feet where it is most required.

Clearly this is not an easy exercise to perform, and there is no shortage of credit towards simple hard work and dedication. Kyle is often watched while performing this exercise, and is asked almost equally as often about how often he does this kind of exercise. He generally responds, "Not very often, I would have to start counting my blessings more regularly if I did this all the time."
While he would tell people that he does not do this exercise very often, he does admittedly try to incorporate it into his regular routine during his agility and speed training. He loves to try and get people to try it as well to push their boundaries. While the majority would not even think about it, he is overjoyed by the rare person who does.
"I find being able to do what was once thought impossible is a serious confidence booster. This exercise is just one of those things, and you don't have to go far to give it a try."
Those who do indeed take on the challenge often find themselves taking on whatever Kyle can throw at them.
"It's funny because those are the people I love to train with They never back away from a challenge, and that is what pushing yourself to be better is all about."
