Sets: 2-3

Reps: 12 (6 each side)

• Hold two medium weight dumbbells in a front rack position.

  • The front rack position provides a great cue for the ribs to stay depressed instead of flared during the movement.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage as you prep for the movement.

• Exhale and draw in your core as you shift your weight to one side and march the other knee up.

  • Work on balance and single leg control in this position.

  • Try to keep your trunk in midline and avoid leaning to one side.

• Inhale and reset, stepping the leg back down.

• Exhale and switch sides.

Modifications:

• Hold one weight and using the other arm for balance - slowing weaning off upper body assist.

• Take weight away and just work on improving balance and single leg control.
