    extending hips. Carefully step back
    down to the ground.
    ✓It is used to evaluate and train explosiveness,
    change of direction and speed.
    ✓It works on developing lateral change of
    direction as well.

    1. Remember to use the arms to generate

    2. Run forward and touch the first cone.
    3. Return to original cone, then run around the
