Skaters

A dynamic lateral movement that targets the glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, and core while improving balance and agility.
HOW TO PERFORM:
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
Jump to the right, landing on your right foot while sweeping your left foot behind you.
Push off your right foot to jump to the left, landing on your left foot and sweeping your right foot behind you.
PRO TIPS:
The goal is to explode laterally while still landing softly and with control. Your chest should remain forward the entire time. As you master the movement, you can pump your arms slightly, like a speed skater, to increase your lateral power and to help maintain balance.
MODIFICATION:
Replace the jump with a hop or step.
