Exercise Box jumps ?

Question

My exercise program needs box jumps but i don't have an aerobic box or any steps outside near my house would a stepping machine be equivalent ?

Answer 1

No but you can jump on the floor or onto a step in your house.  The purpose of the jump - a "plyometric" exercise - is to generate the maximum amount of power that you can then absorb and stabilize it as you land.   THe landings should be very Quiet!
