Breathing
Exhale during the explosive effort, then take a controlled breath as you reset. Recover between repetitions so breathing and landing control stay consistent.

The Lateral Cone Hops primarily works the adductors, with the abductors, calves, glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps supporting the movement. It is a plyometrics movement performed with other.

Movement instructions
Position a number of cones in a row several feet apart.
Stand next to the end of the cones, facing 90 degrees to the direction of travel. This will be your starting position.
Begin the jump by dipping with the knees to initiate a stretch reflex, and immediately reverse direction to push off the ground, jumping up and sideways over the cone.
Use your legs to absorb impact upon landing, and rebound into the next jump, continuing down the row of cones.

Your progress
Keep the same other setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Lateral Cone Hops sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
