Resisted Forward Acceleration

With the resistance band around your hips, the anchor point behind you, and you facing away from the anchor point walk forward to where you feel a little bit of resistance from the band. Then get into a staggered stance position with your left foot forward and your right leg back. Bend your hips, knees, and ankles to lower your body into a ready position where you feel balanced with about 60% of your body weight on the front leg and 40% on the back leg. Simultaneously, move your left arm back and your right arm forward to get to a ready position to accelerate. Once you are in a ready position and stable, quickly accelerate forward for either one, two, or three steps (depending on the resistance and length of the band you are using). Make sure your band is strong enough that it will not snap and that you only go as far as it will tolerate. To be safe you can focus on just one step. After you have accelerated forward, stop and find balance, and then reverse walk back toward the anchor point and repeat the same drill with the right leg forward.
