Objectives
Strengthens the major muscles of the legs, with more of an emphasis on hip adductors and external rotators.
Develops co‐contraction of the abdominal and back extensor muscles to stabilize the torso.
Creates stabilization in a standing position with only one leg on the foot pedal, reinforcing balance and alignment.
Strengthens the muscles that support and extend the knee for controlled lower‐body movement.
Develops strength and control in the supporting leg to maintain balanced alignment.
Includes cues for maintaining pelvic stability and avoiding rocking or leaning forward or side during the movement.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
