Off-season training for football: Lateral Hops-Forward Lunges Superset. Keeping up with the theme of working for endurance and agility at the same time, we're doing a superset exercise right now. I'm going to demonstrate first the lateral hops over a target point and then move straight into forward lunges. So with the lateral hops, I'm looking to clear the target, land on my toes, clear the target, land on my toes, over. And then I'm going to take the lunge on, eleven o'clock-one o'clock with my legs [DEMONSTRATION] for a set. Now Jonesy is going to show it at full speed. Jonesy is going from side to side over the target. He's going at full speed and now he's going to stop and lunge straight across driving through the heel, getting the distance [DEMONSTRATION]. On the front view of the forward lunges, we can see that Jonesy is walking with his feet aligned eleven o'clock and one o'clock. [DEMONSTRATION] Eleven o'clock and one o'clock. His feet are aligned.
