Hops: side-to-side feet together

Beginner30 secondsJumping

How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet pressed together, hands on your hips.
  2. Keeping your feet glued to each other as one unit, hop side to side over an imaginary line - like a skier working slalom gates.
  3. Land on the balls of both feet at once, knees bending together to absorb the landing, and bounce straight into the next hop.
  4. Keeping the feet locked together makes your ankles, knees, and hips work as a single spring, which is exactly the point.
