Movement instructions
Stand to the side of a cone or hurdle. To get into the start position, stand on one leg with your knee slightly bent.
To begin, execute a counterjump to hop sideways over the cone.
Land on your jumping leg, and immediately rebound out of it by jumping back to the start position.
Continue hopping back and forth.

Your progress
Keep the same other setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Single-Leg Lateral Hop 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.
