Single-Leg Hopping
Continuous hops on one leg in place, the other knee lifted; the hopping leg lands soft every time.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg, the other knee raised in front, arms bent.
Steps
- Hop up off the ball of the foot.
- Land on the same spot with a slightly bent knee.
- Keep hopping in rhythm; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Landing flat-footed and heavy: meet the floor with the ball of the foot. Hopping knee drifting inward: keep it over the toes. Drifting around the room: land on the same spot.
Breathing
Exhale on each hop; steady rhythm.
