Advanced balance exercises for athletes and those wanting to take it to the next level!

Описание: Do you struggle with knee weakness? Try these exercises below, and stay tuned next week for Part 2!!

1) Knee Slides: Lying on your back, slowly pull one heel in as close to your body as you can, then slowly extend back out. Your heel should be in contact with the floor through the whole movement. This will strengthen your hamstrings and quadriceps.

2) Knees to Toes-Supported:
Stand in a lunge position between two chairs. Using the chairs to support your body weight, slowly lunge forward, hinging until your knee reaches your toes.

3) Knees Over Toes-Supported:
Similar to step 2, lunge between the chairs until your knee passes over your toes. Make sure to support your body weight with the chairs as needed.

4) Knees Over Toes-Unsupported:
Repeat step 3, but without the chairs for support. This move will increase stability and mobility in your knees and ankles. It is important to train in this position, since simple tasks like walking down stairs or downhill requires your knees to track over your toes.

Try 10 reps on each leg, for whichever level is right for you! If you experience pain with these exercises, stop and see your health care practitioner.
