www.builtlean.com - Today I'm going to teach you how to do Speed Skaters also known as Skater Hops, which is a plyometric exercise that builds lateral hip strength and power while challenging your balance & endurance.
Instructions
1. Start in an athletic stance, knees slightly bent and chest up, looking straight ahead.
2. Standing on one foot, cross your opposite foot behind you and then laterally hop. Keep the landing foot straight ahead as you land.
3. The leg you just jumped with will naturally cross behind the opposite leg. Keep your balance as you use your arms to drive off the standing leg to hop sideways back and forth
4. Keep your chest up throughout the entire exercise.
3 Common Mistakes
1. Small jumps
2. Not using arms for balance and explosiveness
3. The jumping leg does not drive behind the opposite leg
Variations - Easier / Harder
You can complete the exercise with your back foot touching the ground each rep. For more of a challenge, you can keep your back leg off the ground
