Lateral Bound
A big sideways leap from one leg to the other with a held landing, building lateral power for sport.
Demo by Dre, an AI coach. Its start and end, as stills.
- Works
- glutes, quads; also adductors, calves, hamstrings
- Kit
- No kit
- Dose
- 6 to 10 reps
It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Stand on your right leg in a quarter squat with the left foot lifted. Each landing counts as one rep.
While you move
- Drive off the outside leg
- Cover distance, not height
- Land and hold for one
- Knee over the middle toes
Avoid
- Letting the landing knee cave inward
- Touching the free foot down to catch yourself
- Bounding farther than you can stick
Take care if you have trouble with jumping or landing, your knees or your ankles.
