Continuous 45 Degree Bounds
Continuous 45 Degree Bounds
Purpose: Locomotive plyometrics. Power. Fast twitch muscle recruitment. Athletic coordination.
Quick Coaching Cues
- Complete for your desired distance, then jog or walk back and repeat.
- Push explosively off the ground and drive out at a 45-degree angle each rep.
- Drive the knee up as you bound.
- Stay tall through your torso and use your arms to help rhythm and power.
- Land softly and quickly rebound into the next bound with control.
Common Mistakes
- Not coordinating the arms with the bounds.
- Reaching out with the foot during the bounds. Don’t reach, jump.
- Jumping too sideways or too flat instead of on a clean 45-degree path.
- Letting the knee cave inward on landing.
- Landing too heavy and losing rhythm between bounds.
