Lateral Gallop

Setup

Standing tall with your feet together, place your hands on your hips to maintain balance. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted.

Movement

1. From a standing position, lift one leg and step or hop sideways, landing on the ball of your foot.

2. Immediately bring the other leg to quickly meet the leading foot/leg so your feet are touching or very close.

3. Keep your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact and maintain a fluid, light motion.

4. Continue this motion in a rhythmic pattern, moving laterally across your exercise space.

5. Maintain a consistent, upright posture throughout the movement to focus the effort on your glutes and inner thighs.
