Improve lateral movement, agility and foot speed. Micro Hurdles are only 6" high (12” with risers), helping teach athletes a key to successful lateral movement: keeping the feet close to the ground where they can actually apply force! Micro Hurdles also protect against the high risk impact of traditional plyometrics while still harnessing the physiological power of the plyometric action. Lateral cross overs, single leg, double leg transfering from left to right, and many more variations can be combined with lateral jumps, forwards, stop and starts, and back pedalling. 6” Hurdle Risers clip on easily and pivot out of the way when not in use.
