Dumbbell lateral hop to sprint

The dumbbell lateral hop to sprint is a multi-part explosive exercise combining weighted hops with weighted sprinting. Adding dumbbells adds a challenge to the core and shoulders. Because balance can be a challenge, it is usually performed with relatively light weights, often as a component of fat-loss or athletic training.

Benefits

  1. Strengthens the legs, hips, and core in the lateral plane
  2. Serious cardiovascular challenge and calorie burn
  3. Helps improve vertical jump and acceleration
