This exercise is great for building strength and stability through the standing leg. You will also be lengthening the hamstrings.
Preparation: Stand in parallel, grab the pro ball and extend the arms overhead.
Steps:
- Perform a développé in parallel with a flexed foot.
- Bring the leg into a passé and extend it back, slightly bending the supporting leg and lowering the arms with the ball.
- Return through passé.
- Repeat the sequence 4 times.
- After the fourth repetition, roll the ball forward, turn out the working leg, and perform a penché.
- Lower the foot, roll the ball back in, and reset to repeat on the opposite side.
Focus:
Bring all the focus to the supporting leg, making sure to work the hamstrings and glutes.
