>> Hello. I am doing Crossfit workouts and really enjoying them, even
>> though they are extremely challenging. One of our exercises requires
>> jumping on and off wooden boxes 12" to 24" off the ground. The box
>> curves inward toward the top, so the platform you jump on is slightly
>> smaller than the size of the base of the box and the sides of the box
>> are curved. We are asked to do repetitive jumps. Sighted athletes use
>> their perripheral vision to make adjustments if they are not centered
>> during their jump. I am concerned that I might get injured if I jump
>> off center or don't land where I should. Does anyone have any tips for
>> this? I know of people who jump onto long folded up gym mats which
>> allow them more protection from injury due to the length and relative
>> softness of the mats. However, mats are not available at my gym at
>> this point.
>>
>> Suggestions are appreciated.

>> Thanks.
