Specific Body Movement | Description of Movement |
---|---|
Bilateral Squat | Start with feet forward and shoulder-distance apart, and while holding a light bar directly above the head, lower body downward as far as possible. |
Right Leg (Unilateral) Squat | Start by raising left foot off the ground and while balancing on the right leg, lower body down as far as possible on the standing leg and return to the starting position. |
Left Leg (Unilateral) Squat | Start by raising right foot off the ground and while balancing on the left leg, lower body down as far as possible on the standing leg and return to the starting position. |
Right Leg Lateral Lunge | Start by taking two large steps to your left within the capture space. Push off with your left leg and bound as far to your right side. Land on your right leg and immediately push off in the opposite direction to reach the starting position. |
Left Leg Lateral Lunge | Start by taking two large steps to your right within the capture space. Push off with your right leg and bound as far to your left side. Land on your left leg and immediately push off in the opposite direction to reach the starting position. |
Right Unilateral Jump | Start with feet forward, legs straight and arms extended backwards as far as possible, raise left leg off ground then jump as high as possible off right leg. |
Left Unilateral Jump | Start with feet forward, legs straight and arms extended backwards as far as possible, raise right leg off ground then jump as high as possible off left leg. |
Five Hops Right Leg | Start with feet forward, lift left leg to a near 90-degree angle, then jump as high as possible off right leg, five consecutive times. |
Five Hops Left Leg | Start with feet forward, right left leg to a near 90-degree angle, then jump as high as possible off left leg, five consecutive times. |
