Kyle Heier felt like taking the challenge of regular box jumps, and cranking it up a notch in his regular agility centered workouts.
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.

While Kyle admits his hard work and dedication is a key element in being able to do this on a regular basis, he is often posed the question of how regularly he does the medicine ball box jump. He used to often respond, "Not very often, I would have to start counting my blessings more regularly if I did this all the time."
He does admit now that he tries to add this in on a once per week basis. He will often encourage others to try when they walk by and are in disbelief. While many do not take him up on the offer, the rare individual 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 that find themselves taking on the task are often finding themselves taking on whatever else Kyle can put in front of 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."
