How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Description: Stand on one leg on an Airex cushion to challenge your balance. Hold a kettlebell in one hand and slowly transfer it from one hand to the other in front of you, maintaining control and stability.

Tips: Keep your gaze fixed in front of you to improve balance. Slightly contract the muscles of the foot and ankle to stabilize. Perform the weight transfer smoothly without losing balance.

Progression: Increase the duration to 45 seconds per leg or use a heavier kettlebell as the exercise becomes easier.
