Lateral Push Off Drive Back
The lateral push off drive back is an exercise that focuses on shifting your weight and then driving up with your lead leg. This is a very odd exercise that shows great results.
Primary Muscles Used
Lateral Push Off Drive Back Instructions
- Find a location where you have plenty of room to move around without risk of hitting something or tripping on something.
- Stand up straight, tighten your stomach and then slightly hip hinge forward, in-between a 7 iron stance and standing up straight.
- Start with a little more weight on your trail leg, around 60 percent.
- Jump laterally towards your lead leg by pushing as hard as you can.
- Right as your lead leg hits the ground push up and back with your lead leg, stopping your lateral momentum and transferring it to backward motion.
- Walk back to starting position and repeat.
- After you have completed the number of reps desired, switch sides and push away from your lead leg.
- Even though it may seem strange to perform this in both directions, it is important to create balance in all your movements.
