Description
Objective: Build strength, balance, and stability through the core while coordinating upper and lower body movement.
Apparatus: Mat

Let's talk about leg pull front. This exercise is done in a plank position, so it's working full body, but it's a coordinated movement between balance, strength and stability. You start in a plank palms under the shoulders, legs together, and parallel, finding that long line from top of the head to heel. One leg lifts as high as it can without changing anything else. Rock through the ball of the foot, back, forward, back, and then replace opposite leg lifts rocking back, forward and back.
Nothing changing, except that gliding forward and back with the leg lifted. One more side, lift that leg using that hamstring and glute. You can complete three sets of right leg, left leg alternating each time, and you're working the mobility through the ball of the foot and the stability through the shoulders and the abdominals.
