COACHING KEYS:
Keep your chest facing front. Sit down and back on one leg and push the ground out/away from your body. Aim to cover as much ground as you can without spending time on the ground with each step. Use this as a warm-up or paired with a lateral squat based resistance exercise. Shoot for 2-4 sets of 12-20 total repetitions.
