Single-Leg Stride Jump

What it is

This is a dynamic, single-leg jump that builds explosive power and improves balance. You will primarily engage your quadriceps, with significant involvement from your abductors, adductors, calves, and hamstrings. It helps to enhance your jump height and improve single-leg strength.

Technique tips

• Place your active foot close to the edge of the box.
• Swing your arms powerfully to generate upward momentum.
• Drive your opposite knee high towards your chest as you jump.
• Push strongly through your elevated foot for maximum height.
• Land softly back on the box, absorbing the impact smoothly.
• Keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
