Box jump workout
For this exercise, you need to stand in front of a box with your feet directly under the hips. Once in the position, lower yourself by bending at the knees and hips but keep your head and back straight. Now, apply force by swinging your arms and jump from the crouched position to land softly on top of the box.

Leg raises with barbell
On a plain surface, lie on your back on the ground, holding a barbell above your chest. Then raise both your legs slowly without bending your knees and lower them back.
Leg raises build strength in your abdominal, core and lower back muscles. It also makes the hip flexors more flexible and agile, according to Livestrong.
Barbell workout, on the other hand, is a form of resistance training that develops muscles and bones in the body and also encourages the body to work as a coordinated unit, as per AZCentral.
