These hopping exercises using a the ladder will help you build up leg strength and coordination. As each leg has to work individually this means you cannot compensate with your stronger leg!
The first exercise is to hop forward along the ladder one rung in turn. Use the walk back to the start point as your recovery and alternate your working leg with each run to give more rest. Set the number of sets according to your fitness level.
The second exercise is an IN OUT sequence moving diagonally down the ladder. This means you have to control your hops to change direction laterally.
The third exercise works on changing direction linearly. Move along the ladder with THREE forward hops then TWO back
These three exercises get progressively harder so be sensible and work your way through them at your own pace.
