Trail Strong Move of the Week – Week Nine

All of these moves are geared toward helping you build and strengthen your muscles, ligaments, and bones to become even stronger on the trail. That including walking, hiking, and running! So fun for everyone. ⛰

🐛 Single Leg Step Up Balance 🐛
How To:
– Find a solid and sturdy bench.
– Place one foot, at 90 degree, on bench.
– Embrace core.
– Drive bent leg while pushing off the floor with the other foot. Most power should come from the foot on the bench.
– Come to standing position with free foot off bench.
– Squeeze glutes.
– Come back down to starting position in a controlled manner.
– Repeat
Tips:
– Keep core engaged
– This can test your balance. Don’t do next rep until fully stable.
– Goal: don’t let the extended leg touch the bench
– Level Up: add weights in hands
– Modify: remove balance and place not feet on bench
Reps:
– 8 to 12 with at least 2 sets (each side)
What’s Going to Burn:
– Quads
– Glutes
– Hamstrings
– Calves
– Core

📣 PSA: I film the moves after I do them during my morning workout. So yes, my hair is crazy, I’m sweaty, I have no makeup on, and I don’t give AF! You get me real and raw because that’s who I am. Embrace being you in your own skin! 💖
