4. Every participants starts with a slider under their left hand.

5. Each participants slides their left hand forward a few inches, enough to slightly bend the right arm and engage the lats.

6. Then they lift their hand off the slider and set their hand down on the ground next to the slider.

7. Their left leg takes a big step up to land their foot on the slider.

8. Each participant slides their left foot back down next to their right foot.

9. Then they lift their left foot off the slider and put their right foot on the slider.

10. The participants right foot then slides the slider back up towards the right hand, and then returns their foot to its original position.

12. Then each participants slides their slider to the person to their right.

13. The participant to their right starts the same movement over again.

14. As soon as the person at the front of the line passes off their slider, they squat thrust up to standing and bunny hop over every other participants ankles until they reach the end of the line.

15. They return to a plank position to await the next slider

16. Run all the way through until the person at the front of the lines ends up back at the front.
