Lateral Shuffle
Low athletic stance, quick side steps a few metres one way and back; the feet never cross.
How to do it
Setup
Low athletic stance, feet wider than the hips, chest up, weight on the balls of the feet.
Steps
- Push off the outside foot and shuffle a few metres sideways.
- Stay low the whole way; the feet never cross.
- Plant the outside foot and shuffle back the other way.
Common mistakes
Standing up between steps: the stance stays low or the legs stop working. Feet crossing: a shuffle keeps them apart, a cross is a run. Toes turning out: they point forward, the hips drive the step.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
