"KIRK VICKERS: This is another dynamic movement. Again, we're going to use a little training aid. We're going to use the medicine ball. Again, I'm choosing a four-pound medicine ball. The weight of the ball is not that important. Sometimes, if we get too heavy with the ball, it can throw off our mechanics and our control. We start substituting and compensating. We start to get into improper movement patterns. That's not what we want. What we're going to do is we're going to start in the good lunge position with the ball here. The ball is over the leg. We're going to come here and switch and come down. So we got a big chopping motion as we come in to a scissor lunge. We could keep that going, keeping our head up. Our shoulders are nice and square. Notice that my feet are in a nice position when I do this, moving straight ahead as we get this great chopping motion. Ten to 15 of these is going to be probably be enough. Twenty-five, we're moving in to a very advanced level."
