Lateral Bound

The Lateral Bound is a great lower body exercise that focuses on lateral movement and improves coordination and agility.

Instructions

• Start standing with feet shoulder-width apart.
• Bend your knees slightly and push off your right foot, moving laterally to the left.
• Land on your left foot, with your knee slightly bent to absorb the impact.
• Immediately push off your left foot to bound back to the right side.
• Maintain your balance and aim for continuous movement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not bending the knees enough, causing stress on the joints.
• Landing too hard, not absorbing impact properly.
• Not maintaining a straight line in movement, leading to balance issues.
• Using upper body momentum to swing rather than pushing off explosively with the legs.
