Who Can Use the Escape Fitness Plyometric Jump Box?

Jump box exercises can be quite intense for those who do not exercise regularly. Therefore, it is recommended that you should already have a good level of fitness before you use this product. This taller box requires 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 provide 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.

Suitable for Adept Athletes

For experienced athletes looking to push themselves even harder and achieve physical excellence, the 450mm Plyometric Jump Box provides a real challenge. The 18-inch jump will help push your body to the limits, boosting your strength and agility to help you get in the best shape possible.

Up the Levels

Once you've mastered the 450mm Jump Box, why not crank the intensity up even further? To do this, you can purchase additional jump boxes either in this size or the other sizes available (150mm, 300mm or 600mm). All Escape Fitness Jump Boxes feature Velcro straps to attach together easily, allowing you to further customise your workout.

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.
