Medicine Ball Skater Hop
The skater hop holding a medicine ball, swinging it to the outside hip on every landing.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg, knee soft, the ball held in both hands at the outside hip.
Steps
- Bound sideways onto the other leg.
- Swing the ball across to the new outside hip as you land.
- Land soft on the outside foot, knee over the toes, and bound back.
Common mistakes
Landing on a straight knee: soft knee, hips back. Ball dragging the torso past the landing leg: stop it at the hip. Trailing foot planting: it hovers behind, or the rep is a side step.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
