How to do it

  1. Stand in an athletic stance with knees slightly bent and chest up.
  2. Push off with one foot and hop explosively to the side.
  3. Land softly on the opposite foot, crossing the trailing leg behind you.
  4. Use your arms as a counterweight to build momentum in the right direction.
  5. Hop straight back the other way and repeat.
Coach tip: Hoppa så långt du kan i sidled. För korta hopp ger för lite kraft och gör övningen mindre effektiv.
