How to perform

Step laterally, pushing off your outside foot. Quickly slide the trailing foot to meet it, avoiding a cross. Maintain a low stance with short, rapid steps, swinging arms opposite your legs for balance. Keep toes forward and engage your core. Reverse direction, leading with the opposite foot.

Tips

To maximize power and stability, maintain a low, athletic stance throughout the exercise, bending at your knees and hips. Focus on quick footwork, minimizing ground contact time to increase speed and agility, and imagine rapidly tapping your feet on the floor. Keep your core braced and engaged to stabilize your torso and prevent excessive rotation, which will improve power transfer. Point your toes forward to avoid ankle strain and ensure proper alignment, and actively pump your arms in opposition to your legs to maintain balance and rhythm.
