Now let's do Obstacle Jumps and Hops. Using a small obstacle, 6-12 inches. Start with side to sides. Go over and back. That's one repetition. Do three sets of ten repetitions popping off the ground as quick as possible. Next, do one foot hops. Over and back with the same leg. This is great for balance and power. Make sure you work each leg equally in the number of sets and reps. Over and back is one. Do three sets of five.

Now let's face the hurdle. Forward and back. Over and back is one repetition. Do three sets of 5-10. Try and keep your heels together when you do these, so your feet don't swing out and around the obstacle. We want to stand or control. The more control you have with the core, the more control you have with the rest of your body.

Now let's do single foot hops. Over the corner of the object, so we don't kick it with the other foot. Over and back is one. Do three sets of 3-5 repetitions.
