Lateral Bounding
Bodyweight Strength - Lateral Bounding is a great bodyweight strength and explosiveness exercise that works the body laterally (from the side) rather than front to back as with most other exercises. To perform the Lateral Bound, simply drop into a quick semi-squat on one leg and push off of it as hard as you can to jump as far as you can in the opposite direction (ie if you're jumping off of the right leg then you will jump to the left). When you land on the other side, land on the opposite foot and allow yourself to rapidly drop into a semi-squat with that foot and then launch back into your next jump again in the opposite direction. Simply jump back and forth like this for the planned number of repetitions on each leg.
