Strength Exercise - 4. Single-Leg Balance Progression C: Airplanes

Purpose
Single-Leg Balance develops advanced foot and ankle control under full bodyweight.

How to Perform
Start in the single-leg balance position with one foot on the Axis Pro. Slowly hinge forward at the hips while extending the free leg behind you. Allow the arms to move outward for balance if needed. Rotate the torso slightly while maintaining control of the board and alignment through the stance leg.

Return to an upright position with control and repeat.

Coaching Cues

  • Keep hips level

  • Move slowly through the hinge and rotation

  • Stop if balance or board control is lost
