How to do it
Fix your gaze on a point on the floor three feet ahead.
- 1
Stand on one leg, keeping your standing knee slightly bent.
- 2
Extend your opposite arm forward and the opposite leg backward, creating a straight line from your extended hand to your extended foot.
- 3
Hinge at the hips to lower your torso and extended arm down towards the ground while keeping your back straight.
- 4
Squeeze your glutes to return to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
Expert tip
Keep your core tight and focus on maintaining balance throughout the movement to engage the stabilizing muscles effectively.
