How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 10 per leg

Description: Stand on one leg, then slowly transfer your weight onto that leg while controlling the movement. Gently return to the initial position while maintaining balance.

Tips: Keep your trunk upright and look ahead to better stabilize. Perform the movement slowly to improve ankle motor control.

Progression: Gradually increase the duration of maintaining the unipodal position or add an unstable surface when control becomes easy.
