Box jumps are well known for their vast requirements in agility centered workouts. Kyle Heier is taking them one step further.
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 wish to work up to trying this, we suggest placing a medicine ball on the floor close to a wall, and jump on top using the wall as support. Keep your feet close together on the floor prior to jumping to ensure they stay relatively close throughout the jump. We stress a high degree of importance on this part as the medicine ball is a small target to hit, even at floor level.
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.

Admittedly, hard work and dedication are easily the most important factors in the ability to actually make these jumps. This performance does not go unnoticed, and often raises the question in how often does he do these jumps? He responds "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."
The people that do take on these new challenges are often finding themselves taking on whatever else Kyle puts in their path.
"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."
