Difficulty: Intermediate

Muscle Group: Lower Body Power and Deceleration

Start by dropping down into a squat. Leap laterally, initiating the movement with your trailing leg and getting a majority of the power from your leading leg. As you're in the air, turn your body 90 degrees and land facing the direction you're moving.

The key here is to use the trailing leg to accelerate your body first, and the leading leg to produce a majority of the power to propel your body while finishing the landing with your weight equally distributed between legs. As you land, push your weight back into your heels so your glutes are doing a majority of the work. Don't allow your knees to track over your toes or cave inwards or outwards.
