4-Way Single-Leg Hop
On one leg, hop to four points around a marker, forward, back and to each side, landing still each time.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg beside a floor marker, the other knee bent, arms loose.
Steps
- Hop over the marker forward and back.
- Hop over it to one side and back.
- Land soft every time, knee over the toes; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Rushing the hops before each landing is still: stick one, then the next. Knee caving on the sideways landings: keep it over the middle toes. Hopping far: small hops keep the direction changes safe.
Breathing
Exhale on each hop; steady rhythm.
