Speed Skater With Reach To Hold Combo

How To Do The Speed Skater With Reach To Hold Combo Correctly

The Speed Skater With Reach To Hold Combo is an excellent plyometric cardio combo that revs up your heart rate as well as improving your balance, agility, and coordination.

To get started:

1. With a hip width stance, slightly bend your knees then bend your elbows at a 90 degree angle while lifting one foot, bending your knee and drawing it behind your other leg with your opposite elbow drawing back to get into a speed skater pose.
2. Take a wide jump laterally to the other side, landing on the leg that was bent, and immediately get back into the speed skater pose.
3. Pause for a quick moment to stick the landing, then take another wide jump laterally back to the original side.
4. Repeat the quick speed skater movement up to 5 times per side, then on the next lateral jump, hold the speed skater pose and squat down on one leg to touch the top of your foot with your opposite hand and hold the position for a brief moment.
5. Jump back to the other side and complete the same reach and hold movement.
6. That’s one rep.
7. Go back to the original speed skater movement, then complete the reach and hold on up to every 5th rep per side.
8. Repeat.
