Here's how to properly perform the single-leg RDL hurdle hop: Set up the Hurdle: Begin by setting up a hurdle at an appropriate height and distance. The height should challenge you but still allow for proper form and technique. Place the hurdle in front of you, aligned with your desired direction. Starting Position: Stand on one leg, with a slight bend in the knee and your foot pointed slightly outward. Keep your arms relaxed by your sides or slightly bent at the elbows for balance. Single-Leg RDL: Perform a single-leg RDL by hinging at the hips, keeping your back straight, and lowering your torso toward the ground. Simultaneously, extend your opposite leg straight behind you for balance. Hop over the Hurdle: Explosively push off the ground with your standing leg, driving your body upward and forward. As you jump, lift your bent leg over the hurdle while maintaining control and balance. Land Softly: Prepare to land on the same leg you started with, aiming for a soft and controlled landing on the ground. Focus on maintaining stability and balance upon landing. Reset Position: After landing, quickly reset your position by balancing on one leg and preparing for the next repetition. Repeat: Perform the single-leg RDL hurdle hop for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and repeat the exercise with the opposite leg.
