A lateral run is a side to side running, in which you keep feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Keeping your core strong, bend a little forward and keep your back straight and knees soft and bent.

To perform this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Now squat, stand, take two lateral hops on the right, squat again and move to the other side. You can do 5 sets with each rep a minute long. Take a 15- second break and repeat.

To do the run, stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a hop and move your arms from your side to above your head. Take two lateral hops on the left side, hop again and repeat on the other side.
