Zone 3 - the box jump/step-over - was put in place to fulfill one simple function: test your ability to get up and over an obstacle. While the 24 inch height may be standardized for all, this is truly one that some may find easier to accomplish than others. But with some basic technique instruction, it’s truly possible for anyone to crush this zone with speed and flair.
That’s why we reached out to the unofficial but also undisputed “Box Over Queen”Amber Tait, owner of Pure Impact Athletics in Ontario, Canada. Want to fly over the box at lightning speed like Amber? If so, here are her Zone 3 pro tips:
1. Spend time doing mobility sessions, specifically for the hips. The more you can open up your hips to swing your leg around to step up on to the box versus making a straight lateral step, the easier it will be for anyone at any height to get up and over the box.
2. Stay low on top of the box. Remember - you are not required to stand all the way up!
3. Master your technique at a slower pace. Then as you get more comfortable with the movement, progressively increase your speed. DEKA Affiliates are your go-to experts for DEKA technique and training.
