MB Step to Fake Throw

These work on change of direction by adding a little impulse to a dynamic lateral lunge. The important elements here are a QUICK STOP with CONTROLLED ANGLES. Absorb energy with the legs and control the shoulders through your core. The lines are important because we are thinking about absorbing and producing force safely to get moving the opposite direction. *Knee tracks in line with toe *Toe, knee and shoulder end in the same plane (the plane of your screen) *Shoulders are square with hips and stay inside the knee — we want to lead with our shoulders out of a change of direction. Don’t be a used car sales balloon. This is the step to fake throw variation, a progression on standing with your feet wide and just doing the fake throw. Coach Bert is holding just a 4lb med ball — anything more and her shoulders start to tip past her hips or her knee waggles. This exercise is not about moving lots of weight, it’s about precision and control under a dynamic load. Happy faking!
