Lateral Slide

The lateral slide is a dynamic side shuffle movement pattern that increases power and agility throughout the lower body. This low impact movement also improves strength in the inner and outer thighs.

  • Do not stand up too tall. Stay low in an athletic stance.
  • Do not rotate your torso. Keep your hips and torso facing forward.
