Balance & Backward Reach

This exercise focuses on lateral hip strength and gluteal strength as well as working the quadriceps and challenging your sense of balance. Balance on one leg, place your hands on your hips or behind your back. Reach back and diagonally behind you, keeping your foot as close to the floor as you can. You'll need to bend your knee in order to do this. Go only as far as you can go with good form and balance and no pain. As you get stronger, reach further!
