Skater Hop

1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.
- Your arms should be relaxed at your sides.

2. Movement:
- Shift your weight onto your right foot.
- Push off your right foot and leap to the left side, landing softly on your left foot.
- As you land, bend your left knee slightly to absorb the impact.
- Quickly push off your left foot and leap back to the right side, landing softly on your right foot.
- Continue this side-to-side hopping motion in a smooth, controlled manner.

3. Form Tips:
- Keep your chest up and your back straight throughout the movement.
- Use your arms to help with balance; swing them in the direction you are jumping.
- Ensure each landing is soft to reduce impact on your joints.

4. Duration/Repetitions:
- Start with 30 seconds of hopping, then rest for 30 seconds.
- Aim for 3-5 sets, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable.

5. Modification:
- If needed, you can take smaller hops or incorporate a step side to side instead of jumping.

Remember to warm up before starting the exercise and cool down afterward to prevent injury.
