MARCH--STABILITY BALL ONE-LEGGED KNEE-IN

 

This exercise is excellent to build overall strength.  It strengthens the upper body, the core muscles (abdominals, low back), the hamstrings and buttocks.  Start off slowly building your balance and strength and adding repetitions accordingly.

  • Drape yourself facedown over a stability ball and walk hands forward, wrists under shoulders, until you’re in a push-up position with your shins on the ball.
  • Raise right foot a few inches off the ball. 
  • Press your left foot into the ball as you bend your left knee and roll the ball forward.
  • Straighten leg to return to start position and repeat.  Switch sides to complete reps and first set.
  • Beginners do 8-10 repetitions.
  • Advanced do 12-15 repetitions. 
  • Work up to completing 3 sets per leg.
