Single leg exercises

9/20/2015

Single leg exercises are the most optimal way to focus on improving your muscle balance. These exercises are crucial for athletes to practice, because they improve balance and proprioception. Perform these two moves with one minute rest between sets. 12 reps each leg for 3 sets.

  1. Single leg balance and reach: Using a cone, balance on one leg and reach towards the cone lifting the opposite leg back. Don’t round the back, and try to go nice and slow. Start with foot on a flat floor and then try an unstable surface, such as, a balance pad.

  2. Single leg bridge lift: Lying face up on a mat, keep one knee bent and other leg extended. Slowly lift your hips and straight leg into the air keeping core muscles activated. Lower leg back down and repeat.

Consistently perform these moves for stronger lower body muscles, balance, and flexibility. 

Don't forget to have fun!
