How to do it
Swing both arms in the direction of travel to power each lateral jump.
- 1
Place a cone or similar object on the ground to act as a marker.
- 2
Stand on one side of the cone, feet shoulder-width apart.
- 3
Bend your knees slightly and jump laterally over the cone to the other side.
- 4
Land softly and immediately jump back to the starting side.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions or time.
Expert tip
