| Single-Leg Floor Touch | This exercise is great for strengthening your leg and back muscles while improving your balance.
Step 1: Stand with your feet side by side and slightly apart and your arms by your sides. You can stand close to a wall or counter to provide support as you balance.
Step 2: Bend at the hips and slowly reach down to touch the floor with one hand while lifting your leg on the same side straight out behind you. Be sure to keep your back straight. Take 1 to 2 seconds to reach down and about 1 to 2 seconds to stand back up.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Aim for 15 repetitions per leg for each set, and try to do 3 sets.
You can perform this exercise on one side at a time or alternate between sides, depending on which feels best. Be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. If balancing during this exercise seems particularly challenging, rest assured that it is. Keep at it, and you will master it. | | Explore More Fitness |
