Standing Balance Fist Up Side Leg Raise
Equipment: None required
Instructions:
Starting Position:
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core to maintain stability.
Arm Position:
Raise your right arm straight up above your head, making a fist.
Keep your left arm bent at the elbow, with your hand resting near your shoulder.
Leg Movement:
Shift your weight onto your left leg.
Slowly lift your right leg out to the side to about hip height. Keep your foot flexed.
Ensure your hips remain level and your body is straight.
Hold the Position:
Maintain this position for a few seconds while balancing on your left leg.
Focus on keeping your core engaged and your posture strong.
Return to Start:
Slowly lower your right leg back to the starting position and lower your arm.
Repeat the movement for a set number of repetitions.
Switch Sides:
After completing the desired reps on the right side, switch to the left leg and raise your left arm above your head.
Perform the same lifting motion with your left leg.
Tips:
If you find it hard to balance, you can hold onto a wall or chair for support.
Progressively work on your balance by reducing support as you become more stable.
Maintain a smooth movement to avoid losing balance.
