Skater

Muscles involved

Adding the Skater exercise to your workout routine brings a dynamic, athletic edge to your leg or cardio sessions. Relying solely on your bodyweight, this plyometric movement forces you to move laterally, testing your balance and agility with every single bound. As you jump side to side, your quadriceps absorb the impact while your abdomen and obliques stay fully engaged to keep you stable. The clear results you will see include improved cardiovascular endurance, greater joint stability, and significantly more explosive lower-body power that translates directly into athletic performance.

How to do it

1. Stand by slightly bending your knees and lift one knee, placing it behind you. 2. Jump to the left side, swinging your arms in that direction. 3. Upon landing, lift your right knee and place it behind you. 4. Jump to the right side and continue alternating sides rhythmically.
