Box Burpee Jump

How to do the box burpee jump, the muscles it works, and the mistakes to avoid. Pulled straight from the Kovo app's exercise library.

Combine a burpee with a box jump. After the push-up, instead of jumping up, jump onto a box or platform.

1Complete a full burpee with your chest to the floor before jumping; you should feel your chest, shoulders, and arms working in the push-up
2Drive explosively through your hips and legs to jump onto the box; feel your glutes and quads power the ascent
3Land softly on top of the box and stand tall; maintain a tight core throughout the movement

Don't let your hips sag or your chest collapse during the push-up portion
Avoid slamming your feet onto the box; absorb the landing with bent knees
Don't rush through the reps at the expense of form, quality and control come first

The box burpee jump mainly works the quads, with the triceps, mid chest, upper abs, lower abs, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and front delts assisting.

Kovo programs the box burpee jump for you and tracks it every session.
