Who Can Use the Escape Fitness Plyometric Jump Boxes?
Jump box exercises can be quite intense for those who do not exercise regularly. Therefore, it is recommended that you should already have a moderate level of fitness before you use this product. The taller boxes require an exceptional level of strength to be able to jump safely, and should only be used by those who are confident in their physical ability.
Caution: It is not advisable to use this product when first starting out, as this could potentially cause muscle injury or ligament damage.
How Do I Use the Plyometric Jump Box?
There are a number of ways in which you can use the Plyometric Jump Box to help boost your speed, strength and endurance. The main three box jumps you can perform include:
- Lateral Box Jumps: Jumping from side-to-side across the box.
- Frontal Box Jumps: Jumping forwards onto the box (see below image).
- Transverse Box Jumps: Jumping forwards onto the box from a sideways starting position.
Once you're confident performing these exercises, you can increase the intensity by adding weight, isolating one leg or transposing into other exercises (i.e. burpees).
Why Try Plyometrics?
Plyometrics are so good because they are fun, intense and great for building explosive power. Using natural movements such as jumping, stepping or hopping, you will make quick lower-body muscle gains while also increasing your stamina and endurance. These exercises should be a staple in any training regimen that's tailored towards high-level athletes in sports such as:
- Track running
- Track jumping
- Cycling
- Football
- Boxing
Innovative Honeycomb Design
Though the Escape Fitness Jump Box may look simple at first, it actually has a thoughtful design with safety and practicality in mind. The honeycomb design of the box is used to create a hybrid of both hard and soft foam.
- Hard foam ensures stability when using the jump box and provides a safe landing place for your feet.
- Soft foam cushions impacts on the knee or shin should the exercise manoeuvre go wrong.
The hybrid foam honeycomb is there to help the user build confidence when performing jump box exercises, as there is less risk of pain and injury.
Gradual Muscle Development
Having access to three Plyometric Jump Boxes of varying height gives you the opportunity to gradually build muscle strength. Start out by using the smallest 300mm green box to get used to the intensity and practice good form. Once you feel confident enough to jump up a level, switch to the blue or red box for extra challenge. After mastering those, connect the boxes for even more height to really test your ability.
Target Markings for Improving Form
To encourage proper form, the Escape Fitness Plyometric Jump Box has integrated markings at the top to show where to aim your feet. This helps you achieve perfect form while executing jump box exercises to ensure a fuller range of motion. In addition, correct form will reduce the likelihood of sustaining harmful injuries during exercise.
Build Up Your Confidence
The key to getting the most out of plyometric exercise is to gradually work your way up and prepare the muscles for greater intensity. If you would like a smaller jump box to help your confidence grow before tackling the larger ones, then the Escape Fitness Soft Plyometric Jump Box 150mm (Grey) is ideal for beginners.
Designed for Convenience
With convenience in mind, the Escape Fitness Jump Box Set is made with lightweight foam material. This makes it easy to move from one side of the gym to the other without endangering anyone. The outer layer is made from durable material to ensure that the jump boxes will last a long time. Additionally, the box cover is anti-slip to help prevent injury when using the box.
