Lateral bounds train your ability to move quickly and powerfully from side to side. This exercise improves athleticism while strengthening muscles that support hip and knee stability.
Instructions
- Begin in a slight squat stance, facing sideways to your direction of movement.
- Push off one leg and leap laterally to the opposite side.
- Land softly on the opposite foot, maintaining balance and a slight knee bend.
- Immediately push back to the starting side.
- Repeat continuously, staying low and controlled.
