Alternate Leg Diagonal Bound vs One Half Locust

Assume a comfortable stance with one foot slightly in front of the other.

Begin by pushing off with the front leg, driving the opposite knee forward and as high as possible before landing. Attempt to cover as much distance to each side with each bound.

It may help to use a line on the ground to guage distance from side to side.

Repeat the sequence with the other leg.

Lie facedown on the floor.

Put your left hand under your left hipbone to pad your hip and pubic bone.

Bend your right knee so you can hold the foot in your right hand.

Lift the foot in the air and simultaneously lift your shoulders off the floor. This also stretches the right hip flexor and the chest and shoulders. Switch sides. If it doesn't bother your back, you can try it with both arms and legs at the same time.
