Front Raise Balance Ball Exercises

Video Transcript

"In this clip we are going to do a front one legged raise. You want to start with your balance trainer on the flip side, now if this is too challenging for you you can start it on the other side with your trainer with the base nice and flat towards the ground. What you want to do is get your body position on the balance trainer with one foot flat on the ground, other leg extended. Now what we are going to do is we are going to go ahead and lift and release and lift and release. You can really feel a challenge on those quadricep muscles, hip flexors, and you can even alternate lifting with the foot flexed and the foot pointed and you are going to feel that deep in the hip flexors. If you have issues with the hip flexors and you need them a little bit stronger then this is a good exercise for you. Okay switch legs, extend the leg forward, find your center of balance, raise it up slightly. This is not a big movement but it is very isolated. You are going to raise and lower. You can do it with the toe point and alternate. Flex, point, flex and point. Try and keep your back nice and straight."
