One-Leg Balance

The Skill: Balance

Your body uses cues from your feet, eyes, and ears to sense which muscles to activate to keep you steady on in-line skates or water skis. Balance training improves that communication chain, so your body can react quickly and spare you from a wipeout.

The Move: One-Leg Balance

Stand on your left leg with your arms at your sides. Lean forward, push your hips back, and extend your right leg behind you, keeping your back straight. Reach down with your right hand and try to touch the toes of your left foot. Return to the starting position without touching your right foot to the floor. Do five reps, then switch sides and repeat.

Body Bonus

You'll also sculpt your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core muscles.
