How to do the Lateral Bound

  1. 1

    Assume a half squat position facing 90 degrees from your direction of travel. This will be your starting position.

    Allow your lead leg to do a countermovement inward as you shift your weight to the outside leg.

  3. 3

    Immediately push off and extend, attempting to bound to the side as far as possible.

  4. 4

    Upon landing, immediately push off in the opposite direction, returning to your original start position.

  5. 5

    Continue back and forth for several repetitions.
