Move lower leg forwards in side support (right)

Individual work

Side support with the (right) arm stretched out, pull the lower leg of the lower leg in (approx. 90 degrees) so that the body weight is only distributed on the foot of the upper supporting leg and the arm. Bring the bent leg forwards (lower leg parallel, thigh approx. 90 degrees to the body) and back to the starting position.

Attention:
Head, torso, hips and knees practically form a line (pelvis does not tilt backwards or forwards), keep the shoulder above the elbow.

Lighten:
Lower the leg forward; just hold the position.

Harden:
Additional weight (for the free leg or on the hip); unstable support (possible for both the arm and the leg).

1 weight cuff/weight vest/weight disc/sandbag ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
1 ball/1-2 balance cushions ► to make the exercise more difficult (unstable surface)
