Box Step Over

Exercise name: Box Step Over

Exercise description:

• Stand facing a sturdy box (commonly 20-24 inches high).

• Step one foot fully onto the box, pressing through your heel to lift your body up.

• As you rise, bring your second foot onto the box and immediately step it down on the opposite side.

• Follow with your trailing foot so you’ve cleared the box entirely—one rep is complete.

• If holding dumbbells, keep them at your sides or in the front rack position.

• For a more advanced version, you can perform lateral box step overs by stepping onto the box from the side instead of facing forward.

Technique that must be performed to count: Both feet must start on the ground and then both feet must touch the top of the box one at a time (not a jump), before stepping down on opposite side.

# of repetitions before shooting: 5

Casual division modifier: Shorter box.

Exercise equipment needed: Box step.
