Description

An intense cardio exercise that works your lower body, especially the glutes, quads and calves. The athlete stands sideways and then jumps from one foot to the other while maintaining balance.

How to Do Lateral Bound

1
Setup
Stand with feet hip-width apart, chest up, and core engaged. Shift your weight slightly onto one leg, keeping a soft bend in your knee.
2
Setup
Load the standing leg by pushing your hips back and slightly bending your knee, preparing to explode sideways.
3
Powerfully push off the standing leg, driving your body laterally as far as possible, swinging your arms for momentum.
4
Land softly on the opposite foot, absorbing the impact by bending your knee and hip, maintaining balance and control.
5
Immediately load the newly landed leg and repeat the lateral bound to the other side, moving continuously.

Tips

Focus on generating maximum power from the push-off leg to achieve greater distance and challenge your explosiveness.
Maintain a stable core throughout the movement to control your torso and prevent excessive leaning, aiding in balance.
Ensure a soft, controlled landing by absorbing the impact through your hip, knee, and ankle joints to protect them and prepare for the next bound.
Use your arms to help with balance and generate momentum by swinging them in the direction of your bound as you push off.

Common Mistakes

×Landing stiff-legged is a common mistake; instead, land with a bent knee and hip to absorb impact and protect your joints.
×Not pushing off with enough force reduces the exercise's effectiveness; actively drive through your foot to explode laterally for maximum power.
×Losing balance upon landing can happen; focus on engaging your core and controlling your descent to stick the landing firmly before rebounding.
