Band Hex Bar Ankle Hop

Bnd HB Ankle Hop

Coaching Points:

Upright posture: Focus on maintaining an upright posture throughout the exercise. Keep your spine aligned, shoulders relaxed, and chest lifted. This posture helps optimize your body’s alignment and allows for efficient force production.
No knee bend: Keep your knees relatively straight throughout the exercise. Avoid excessive knee flexion or bending. This encourages the use of your feet and ankles to generate force, rather than relying on knee flexion for power.
Minimize ground contact: Aim to minimize the time your feet spend in contact with the ground. Strive for quick and efficient foot strikes, allowing for a more rapid transfer of force. This helps enhance your speed and agility.
Use only feet and ankles: Emphasize the use of your feet and ankles to produce force. Focus on pushing off and driving forward using the muscles in your feet and ankles. This encourages the development of lower leg strength and enhances the efficiency of your movement.
Engage the muscles of the feet and ankles: Pay attention to engaging the muscles in your feet and ankles throughout the exercise. This includes the muscles of the arch, toes, and lower leg. Develop a strong mind-muscle connection and focus on actively contracting these muscles to generate force.
