Single Leg Squat and A Triple Under

I should be able to do more than just one single leg squat on each leg, but I haven’t practiced enough lately to be able to.  My right side looks good.  My left side needs work.  Usually a few more attempts spread out over a couple of weeks does the trick.  When I incorporate single leg squats into training, I feel balanced.

Jumping rope is an excellent way to cross train for runners.  I strengthens your hips and calves.  It increases your turnover and helps identify and correct an imbalances you may be dealing with.  And it is also a great Cardio workout.

I started jumping rope when I was 7.  This ones for you, Coach Brockhagen!
