![How to Balance #08 - Alternative Sideways Parkour Tutorial. [008]](https://londonparkour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Zpb9Y7Czb5I.jpg)
In this tutorial, we’ll delve into an upgraded exercise that builds on a previous workout routine — the crossover on the bar. This version introduces a new challenge by altering the position of your legs, which not only enhances strength but also improves balance and coordination. If you've mastered the original crossover, get ready to step it up a notch and engage your muscles in a different way!
To get started, position yourself on the bar as you did in the previous exercise. This time, place your left leg behind you while keeping it straight and focused. The other leg should come forward. The key here is to maintain contraction in the back leg while balancing your weight. After you feel comfortable with this setup, switch to the right leg behind you, again ensuring it remains straight as you bring the other leg to the front. It’s essential to practice both sides to develop even strength and coordination, so don’t skip on alternating. Remember, though it may seem trickier, this exercise is a fantastic way to challenge your stability and core engagement!
In conclusion, this advanced crossover is not just about moving your legs; it's about mastering control and strength. As you practice, focus on the straightness of your legs and the contractions in your muscles to maximize benefits. Consistent training on both sides will help create balance, making this exercise a valuable addition to your routine.
- Start with your left leg behind, keeping it straight, then transition to the right side to maintain balance.
- Focus on muscle contraction throughout the exercise; it’s crucial for strength and stability.
- Practice alternating sides to cultivate even strength and coordination in your workout routine.
