Single-Leg Sprinter (Plyometrics)
Positioning:
1. Stand on your right leg with your left leg bent at the knee and brought up behind you.
2. Keep your core engaged and your upper body straight.
3. Your arms should be bent at a 90-degree angle at your elbows, holding your arms close to your body as if you’re running.
Movement Instructions:
1. Begin by pushing off with your right foot, propelling your body forward.
2. As you push off, swing your left leg forward in a running motion, bringing your knee up toward your chest.
3. Land softly on your right foot while letting your left leg extend back behind you.
4. Repeat this movement for a set period or a specific number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 times) before switching to the left leg.
5. Focus on quick, explosive movements and maintaining balance throughout the exercise.
Tips for Beginners:
- Start slowly to ensure you maintain balance and proper form.
- Avoid landing too hard; aim for a soft landing to reduce impact.
- Gradually increase speed and number of repetitions as you become more comfortable with the movement.
