ASSESSMENT WEEK: DAY 2 — SINGLE-LEG BALANCE WITH REACH
Yesterday, we started with the Overhead Squat.
Today’s assessment is Single-Leg Balance with Reach.
This one gives you a good look at:
- balance
- foot and ankle stability
- hip control
- coordination
- single-leg strength and control
That matters in triathlon because running involves controlled single-leg landings. Poor stability shows up as hip drop, especially late in the race, or knee pain.
How to do it:
Stand on one leg and maintain your balance while, with control, reaching the opposite arm out front.
What to look for:
- Can you stay balanced without putting the foot down?
- Does the standing knee stay stable and track over toes?
- Can you control the movement without wobbling all over the place?
- Do both sides look and feel similar?
Score yourself:
- 2 = pass
- 1 = needs work
- 0 = fail
Try both sides and go with the weaker side for your score.
If you do it today, drop your score below:2, 1, or 0
If you want feedback, you can also DM me a video.
