<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Assume position on Standing Firm®, balancing on right leg
• Keeping left foot elevated behind you, drive hips back and squat down
• Explode up, driving left knee up until right leg is fully extended
• Lower to start position and repeat for specified reps
• Perform set on opposite leg

Sets/Reps: 3x10 each leg
Coaching Points: Don’t let front knee pass toes // Maintain balance throughout exercise // Keep back straight and head up
Snow: Correct posture is the foundation of movement. Pay attention to alignment and posture. If you don’t monitor alignment, the body will always follow the path of least resistance, setting up muscle imbalances. The centered bar and base markings should be utilized for precise movement and self-correction. The goal is to have all the muscles of the body working optimally with the correct muscles, doing the correct motion at the correct time. Less resistance can be more difficult when it comes to stability training.
