ABDUCTORS

Hurdle Step Over

BeginnerBodyweight

This agility drill trains the hip flexors, hamstrings and glutes while opening the hips through a big range. You lift each knee high and swing it over an imaginary hurdle, which sharpens balance and coordination. It's a useful warm-up for sports that demand quick, nimble footwork.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet slightly wider than your hips and knees softly bent.

  2. 2

    Brace your core, keep your back tall and look straight ahead.

  3. 3

    Shift your weight onto one leg.

  4. 4

    Lift the opposite knee high and rotate it outward, keeping the foot flat and toes pointing out.

  5. 5

    Open the hip and carry the bent knee forward as though stepping over a hurdle, swinging your arms as if running.

  6. 6

    Plant the foot down, then repeat on the other side, alternating for the full set.
