Alternate Leg Diagonal Bound

Technique

How to perform Alternate Leg Diagonal Bound

1. Start with one foot slightly ahead of the other and enough clear space to travel diagonally.
2. Push off the front leg and drive the opposite knee forward as you move forward and to the opposite side.
3. Land on the opposite foot and control the hip, knee and ankle as you accept your weight.
4. Use that leg to bound forward and diagonally back toward the other side.
5. Continue alternating takeoff and landing legs, keeping each landing controlled.
6. Use a floor line for reference if helpful; it is not required equipment.
