Home Workout Series 3
Single Leg Hop w/ 90° Turn
3 Sets of 4 Left and Right
Starting position: Standing tall, feet are hip distance apart, arms pulled tall above head (if you have room).
Snap arms down beside side of body to generate momentum for your jump.
Hips draw backwards into a hinge position to generate force as your arms are drawn back.
Squeeze your glutes, extend your ankles, knees, and hips (also known as triple extension), and explode off the ground, jumping for height. In the air, turn 90-degrees to one side. Land softly on outside leg to protect your joints (this will encourage longevity in your basketball career). Take a breath, reset to starting position. Preform all four in one direction, then switch legs.
