BONUS PART 4: BOX JUMPS

When you come to impact it gets even more important to maintain the correct knee alingement. Box jumps are done so often in gyms and in boot camp type HIIT classes so make sure you are doing them properly! As with squats you are looking for a knee that maybe rolling in on landing AND take off. The take off is harder to neuro-muscularily control and needs practice. Start with low heights of the box to avoid excessive loading on jumping and landing.

With the current global situation many of you maybe starting to head back into the gym - if not already! If you have had some time off from exercise, especially load (like weights and plyometrics) then launching straight back into gym work, running, group exercise classes and boot camps needs to be done with a bit of awareness around your mechanics.

Usually people dont feel mechnical knee pain until a few weeks into a new routine with non-optimum knee movement. Too many weeks of exercises with a pelvis dropping in and a knee rolling in, and then with load can lead produce stress on the knee tissues and eventually pain and injury. This will definitely put a road block in your training - that you have so long yearned to get back into. Dont let this hapen to you!
