Lateral Bound
LEARN | Strength Foundations with Adrian Gaskin
•
2m 33s
Begin in a staggered stance, with one foot forward. Sink down into an athletic position, ready to jump. Your weight should sink into the hip crease of your front leg. Using your arms to drive the movement in the direction you want to bound, step laterally with your rear foot. Start small, stepping from side to side before moving into a full bound. Finish in a mirrored, ready stance, opposite leg forward. Pause here to regain stability and form. Bound to the side, using your front leg to drive you and keeping your hips squared ahead. Land softly and quietly. As you gain confidence, increase the distance with each jump, rather than the height. Find a rhythm and bound from side to side continuously, staying mindful of your weight distribution and form.
