Hurdles

Here are some simple hurdle drills, that should be easy to remember: 1. sit on the ground in the hurdle position, pump your arms and say "1,2,3 down" at which point you're extending your opposite arm down to your lead leg. Your other arm should act like it's going into your back pocket. 15 times each leg. 2. set up 4 or 5 hurdles in a row about 5 feet (or so) apart. walk to the side of the hurdle, step **past ** the hurdle with your lead leg foot and let your trailer leg go over the hurdle. 5 or 6 times each side once you got this down, you can do this same drill with skipping (2/3 days worth) and eventually running. you must make sure the lead leg steps past the hurdle 3. the same set-up for the lead leg. walk to the side of the hurdle and extend the lead leg out (like it's going to go over) and snap it down on the other side. do not fully extend the leg, leave a little bend in it. 5 or 6 times each side  again, once you have the walking down (1or 2 days) you should skip and eventually run through this drill. 4. last one, place a hurdle up against a wall (about 1 1/2 feet away). place hands on the wall. the outter leg (lead leg) should be behind the hurdle and you can practice their trailer leg. 15 times each side (twice) media type="youtube" key="Oosf6Sw0nPQ" height="344" width="425"media type="youtube" key="Ma40zZedfDk" height="344" width="425"media type="youtube" key="wiPWC5gc5Io" height="344" width="425"media type="youtube" key="reN4Vk2HNAE" height="344" width="425"
