1. Single Leg Squats
- Balance on one leg, arms by your side.
- Squat down as far as possible while keeping one leg off of floor. Keep your back straight and your knees pointing straight forward.
- Raise your body back up to original position.
30 seconds each leg.
2. Tuck Jump
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bend.
- Bend your knees and descend to a full squat position.
- At the bottom of the squat, powerfully explode straight up bringing your knees toward your chest while in midair.
- Grasp your knees quickly with your arms.
- Release your legs, land softly and descend into the squat again.
- Upon landing immediately go for the next jump.
Do for 30 seconds.
3. Stork Hinges
- Stand with your feet in a slight staggered stance, shifting your weight into the foot that’s in front. Raise the opposite arm into the air and place the other hand on your hip.
- Slowly hinge forward, raising the back leg and lowering the torso, keeping the straight arm and leg in the same plane. Use your hip-resting hand to remind you to keep your pelvis parallel to the ground.
- With control, tilt your body back to the start position, tapping the back toes down only if you must.
30 seconds each leg.
Repeat the circuit 3 times.
