To develop stronger, more stable legs practice the Linear Hop Drill. This exercise creates single leg stability and decreases the risk of injury to the hips, legs and ankles.
It doesn't matter which sport you play. Having a strong foundation will make you a better athlete. Incorporate these 4 movements into your routine for maximum balance and stability in the hips, knees and ankles.
Challenge your balance with the Single Leg Balance on stable ground, and then on an unstable surface like the Balanz Pad. You should feel it in your hips and ankles.
Hamstrings and glutes both contribute to hip stability and lower body strength. Improve the strength and stability of your hamstrings and glutes while also challenging your balance.
The Speed Rope is a multi-functional tool that lends itself to lower body power, plyometric ability, core strength, footspeed, and overall conditioning. Incorporate these three simple drills into your training routine.
Now try alternating your feet from one to the other and back again. This will improve your plyometric ability which translates to more power and increased agility on the field or court.
