Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Single Leg Support Balance.
A balance and proprioception exercise where you stand on one leg while lightly touching a support for minimal assistance. It progressively challenges ankle, knee, and hip stability as well as core engagement, and can be made harder by reducing or eliminating the support contact.
The Single Leg Support Balance is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
