What it is

Leaping side to side from one leg to the other, like a speed skater. It builds lateral power and balance and gets the heart rate up. Land softly and hold briefly.

Technique tips

  • Push off sideways from one leg
  • Land softly on the other
  • Swing the back leg behind
  • Keep the chest up
