Hi! My name is Corey Beasley, owner of DNA Fitness. I am going to walk you through a couple of single leg exercises. Typically people have a lot of imbalances from right to left. We usually have one leg stronger than the other, so these exercises will help balance out some of those inconsistencies. So we are going to start off with what is called single leg squat and you can hold just one dumbbell. What you are going to do is utilize a chair, a hassock, or a couch or whatever you have access to. You are going to sit down and you are going to be utilizing one leg and you are going to stand right up, back down. Right up, back down. Variation of this you make it a little more difficult is you can hold that dumbbell right up at your shoulder. You are going combine two movements. You are going to do a single leg squat and you are going to also add a press at the end so it is going to be a little more difficult. So you are going to stand, you are going to sit back, one leg is up, you are going to stand and press. Back down. Stand and press. So much more difficult, you are going to use a lot more muscles from head to toe. Obviously that is an advanced movement so you it's something that you want to progress to. One more leg exercises is for single leg it is great. It is just called a single leg dead lift. You are going to stand normal, you are going to come up on one foot, knees bent. You are going to lower those dumbbells down, touch the floor, back up. You look at it from the side, get your balance, sit back, coming down, coming up. The single leg squat is going to hit a lot more of the quad, single leg dead lift coming down is going to hit a lot more your gluteus and hamstrings and correct the lot of those imbalances side to side with these single leg exercises.
