Single-Leg Stand
Stand on one leg with the other knee lifted to hip height and hold still; a balance drill for the ankle and the hip.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, hands at the sides, eyes on a fixed point ahead.
Steps
- Lift one knee to hip height.
- Hold still, the standing knee soft and the hips level.
- Lower the foot and switch legs.
Common mistakes
Standing hip swinging out to the side: the pelvis stays level. Locking the standing knee: keep a soft bend. Staring at the floor: fix the eyes on a point ahead.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
