Steps
- 1 Start in a wide stance with your feet much wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards.
- 2 Lower your hips into a shallow squat, keeping your chest up and core engaged.
- 3 Shift your weight to one side, bending that knee deeply as you lower your hips further into a single-leg squat, keeping the other leg relatively straight.
- 4 Explosively push off the bent leg, jumping sideways across to the opposite direction.
- 5 Land softly on the other foot, immediately absorbing the impact by bending that knee and lowering into a deep single-leg squat on that side.
- 6 Continue alternating sides, jumping laterally from one leg to the other with a fluid motion.
