The students will feel the burn in this exercise by focusing on the glute and hamstring strength.
Starting Position: Have the students start in a four-point kneeling position and place a slightly deflated fusion ball behind the knee.
Steps:
- They will lift the working leg in parallel and lower it down.
- Repeat 8 times.
- Have the student keep the leg lifted and flex the foot to perform 8 quick pulses.
- They will point the foot and draw 6 circles in one direction with the leg.
- Have them reverse the movement, repeating the 6 circles in the opposite direction.
- They will then remove the ball from behind the knee and place it under the front hand. Extend the working leg back.
- The student will lift the leg and lower the chest toward the mat by bending the elbows. Return and lower the leg.
- Repeat 4 times.
- Repeat the full sequence on the other side.
- Have the student finish in child’s pose with the knees wide.
