1. Lateral Jumps - The primary purpose is to develop the major muscles for jumping through plyometric exercise.

• For starters, set the angles of the side jump 6 inches further than shoulder width.  (As you become more familiar with the equipment, the exercises become progrssively more aggressive by increasing the distance between angled platforms.)
• With the left foot on the horizontal platform place the right foot on the right angle platform keeping your knee bent to propel your left foot and body center to the left angles platform.
• Rebound by bringing your right foot next to your left foot, bending your left knee to propel your body center to the right side.
• Rebound from the right side to the left by bringing your left foot next to your right foot, your right knee bent to propel your left foot and body weight to the left side.
• Repeat.

• With both feet shoulder width apart cross over your right foot with your left foot to the right side angled platform.
• Push off with your left foot, place your body weight on your right foot.
• Place your left foot on the horizontal platform and cross over your left foot with your right foot to the left side angled platform and push off.
• Repeat.

• Starting with your right foot on the right side angled platform.
• Bend legs to propel self to the left side angled platform.
• Jump side to side with feet together, both feet landing on the platform.
• It is recommended that the slalom lateral jumping exercise be aided with ski poles or a solid stationary object to assist you.
