[su_box title=”Circuit Three: Single-Leg Touch” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]
Reps: 15, each side
- Begin standing with all your weight on your left foot.
- Keeping your spine long, reach forward, bending your left knee and touching your right fingers to the ground. Keep your abs engaged to keep your torso stable. Your right leg will go behind you to help you balance.
- Press your left heel into the ground as you lift your torso up to return to standing, bringing the right toes to touch next to the left foot. This completes one rep.
- Do 15 reps on each side.
Strong glutes will help keep your pelvis stable in many activities, and your abs will need to be working to maintain your balance in this move![/su_box]
[su_box title=”Circuit Three: Side Elbow Plank” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]
Reps: Hold for 30 seconds, working up to 60 seconds
- Place your right elbow on the ground. Extend both legs out so that your body is in one straight line. Flex both feet so that you’re balancing on the outside edge of your right foot. To modify, bend your left knee and place the sole of your left foot on the floor for extra support.
- Place your left hand behind your head. Reach your bottom inner thigh to the ceiling to help keep your waist lifting away from the floor.
- Maintain this position without letting the hips sag toward the floor.
This move is great for toning and tightening the sides of your waist and helps with lateral stability.[/su_box]
