Single-Leg Platform Slide
On the back with the legs long, drag one heel along the floor toward the buttock and slide it back out; a light, controlled knee bend.
How to do it
Setup
Face up on the floor, both legs straight, arms by the sides, the heel of the working leg on the floor.
Steps
- Drag the heel toward the buttock, pressing it into the floor.
- Stop when the knee is fully bent, foot flat.
- Slide the heel back out to a straight leg; finish the side, switch.
Common mistakes
Lifting the heel off the floor: it stays in contact the whole way. Arching the lower back as the knee comes up: keep it resting on the floor. Speeding through: a slow drag is the work.
Breathing
Easy and steady.
