Single-Leg Foot Touch
Standing on one leg, hinge forward and reach the hands down to the standing foot while the free leg rises behind; a bodyweight single-leg hinge.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one foot, the standing knee soft, arms relaxed in front, the other foot just off the floor.
Steps
- Hinge at the hip, reaching the hands toward the standing foot as the free leg lifts behind.
- Touch the foot or the floor beside it, back flat.
- Drive the standing hip forward to rise; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Rounding the back to reach the foot: touch the shin instead and keep it flat. Hips opening toward the free leg: point both hip bones at the floor. Standing knee locked: keep it slightly bent.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
