Training Tips Done Right with D1: Landing Mechanics

Landing Mechanics is a technical way of saying protect your knees.

In this video, the coach and clients from D1 Training Greenwood Village demonstrate the proper sequence of movement to begin and end your jump safely, whether you’re doing a Snap Down, Box Jump, Depth Drop, or any other type of jump.

You should begin your jump from this position, and land the same way:

1. Eyes forward
2. Stand with feet shoulder width apart
3. Chest up
4. Hands back
5. Knees aligned with feet
6. Feet flat

Proper form is extremely important to get the most out of your exercise and avoid injury.
