Drop Jump

How to do it

Stand on top of a raised platform set to a moderate height, toes near the edge.
Step off the platform and land on the balls of both feet, absorbing the drop with a brief bend of the hips and knees.
The instant your feet touch down, rebound into a quick jump, keeping ground contact time as short as possible.
Land the rebound jump softly, then reset for the next repetition rather than chaining jumps together.
Exhale sharply as your feet contact the floor and again as you rebound upward.
A common fault is spending too long absorbing the landing, aim for a fast, reactive push off the floor.
