Depth Jump

How to do it

Stand on top of a raised platform set to a comfortable height, toes near the edge.
Step off the platform and land on the balls of both feet, sinking briefly into the hips and knees.
The instant your feet contact the floor, drive upward into a maximal vertical jump, swinging the arms up for height.
Land the jump softly on both feet, bending the knees and hips to absorb the impact.
Exhale as you drive upward and inhale as you reset at the top of the platform for the next repetition.
A common fault is pausing too long on the ground before jumping, aim for a quick transition from landing to takeoff.
