EXERCISE OF THE MONTH: Lateral Hops

How to do it

  • Stand with feet together and squat so your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
  • Jump off of the ground horizontally.
  • For all jumps, land softly and absorb impact with your quads. 
  • For increased agility: jump side to side with both feet and move quickly. Perform 20-30 jumps, repeat 5 sets
  • For power: jump side to side as high as you can.  Perform in sets of 5-8, repeat 5 sets.
Note: beginners should perform lateral hops as shown in the images- with only one foot leaving the ground at a time.
