• Assume single-leg stance with opposite leg bent and thigh at hip level. Hold handle with hand opposite balancing leg
• Pull cable until hand is at chest
• Return cable to starting position with control
Form Matters: “Don’t rock back as you pull the cable. Keep your core tight and body balanced on each rep. Make sure your balancing leg lines up with the rest of your body— directly underneath your corresponding hip and shoulder. Don’t allow your upper body to lean toward the side of the balancing leg to compensate for the instability.”
Why he does it: “This is great for developing balance and stability while working the back muscles. When Amare is on one foot with the other leg elevated, his glutes, hips, core and all the muscles around his ankle work hard to provide a stable base.”
