Single Leg Touchdown Overview
Single leg touchdown is a beginner to intermediate level exercise that targets your glutes, quads, and hamstrings.
Apart from the core and lower body, a single-leg touchdown is a great workout that helps you improve your body balance, as it requires you to stand on one foot.
Even though it is a simple workout, adding heavier dumbbells will allow you to challenge your strength and balance.
How to Do It
- Start by standing with your feet slightly open.
- Lift your left leg a little and slightly bend the right leg
- Engaging your core, lean forward, and touch your right leg toes with your fingers
- Maintain your left leg, spine, and neck in a straight line
- Slowly return to your position, and repeat the workout
- Perform all your reps on one leg before moving on the other
Tips for Single-Leg Touchdowns
- Keep your body aligned and well balanced when leaning forward
- Perform the exercise with controlled movements
- Intensify the workout by adding in dumbbells and increasing the reps
- Always make sure to keep your feet tightly grounded to avoid tripping
- Do not try to do more reps quickly. A slow and focused workout goes a long way than a quick and unfocused workout.
