Single Leg Squats

May 30, 2008 by Adria Ali 1 Comment

 

     Squats are one of the best ways to tone up and burn calories fast!  Here’s a fun exercise that works not only your legs, but your core as well! 

  • Stand at a wall with your exercise ball at your low back with a considerable portion of the ball on your pelvis.
  • Walk your feet out away from you as far as they need to be so you can bend your knees to a 90 degree angle keeping your knees over your ankles.
  • Lift your right leg off the floor inhale as you bend your left knee to 90 degrees. The ball will roll up your back as you bend your knee. Don’t tuck your pelvis – keep your sits bones pointed straight down.
  • Exhale and pull your abs toward your spine and straighten the left knee, coming to standing. Keep your right leg off the floor.
  • Do: 10 reps on each leg for two to three sets. For more endurance do 12-15.

Single leg squats are a great corrective exercise and great for injury prevention if you are a runner. It is important to have balanced legs and single leg squats will help strengthen your weak leg. (credit)

    Hi Adria Just been browsing your site and saw that you were kind enough to featured us. Thanks I really like your fitness tips and we are starting a similar thing on our blog as people are coming up with new ways of using it all the time. I know that we are currently very Martial Arts and Boxing (male) focused, but we are increasingly getting PT's using this to coach clients etc. and women are staring to show an interest when they see past the punching male thing. Would you be interested in doing a reciprocal link? If you would be interested I could feature you on our blog if you want to demonstrate an exercise you think is particularly good and link back to you. Thanks Samuel
