Broad Jump: how to do it and form tips

A horizontal plyometric jump that develops explosive lower body power and hip extension. Directly trains the fast-twitch muscle fibers in the glutes and quads.

Form tips

  1. Load your hips back and swing your arms for maximum horizontal power.
  2. Jump as far forward as possible, landing softly with bent knees.
  3. Reset fully before each jump — power output matters more than rep count.
