Calf Side to Side Jump
Stiff-ankled two-footed hops from side to side, the calves doing the jumping; the hops stay small and quick.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on the balls of the feet, feet together, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Spring a short way to one side off both ankles.
- Spring straight back to the other side.
- Keep the knees nearly straight and the contacts short.
Common mistakes
Knees bending to hop wider: the ankles do this jump; keep it narrow. Heels touching down between hops: stay on the balls of the feet. Hips swinging with the feet: keep the trunk still over the line.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
