Sideways Circles

The Lesson
Demonstrate on sideways-monkey movement to the left and one movement to the right, repeating five times without stopping.
Every time you move sideways and extend your leg straight, you must keep that leg off the ground.
While the leg is off the ground you must now complete the following:
- 5x leg raises up and down.
- 3x circles with the leg forwards.
- 3x circles with the leg backwards.
Once that sequence is complete, you can drop the leg back to the ground and repeat back to the other side.
Repeat once.
Your hips must stay below your head and your leading leg must be straight while in the air.
Try to keep your chest up and hands flat on the ground.
This is to demonstrate a good movement ability and control in a low-gait position while keeping the TFL Muscle group contracted.
Example.
- Start in a crouch position.
- Place your left hand in front of your right foot.
- Place the right hand far out to the right of you so you are leaning on your right side.
- Jump both feet up in the air and drop the left foot past the left hand position.
- The right leg should extend straight out to the right and cover as much distance as possible - while staying off the ground.
- Now perform the sequence.
- Push with both hands and return back to crouched position.
