Single Leg Balance Drill | Improve Balance and Hip Stability 

Amazing how you said that you came from many surgeries that caused imbalances and yet you are here teaching me and showing me that nothing is impossible 👍🏽

I am a Bird with problems standing on one leg. This really helped, I really needed this to stay warm.

Thank you! Its making a big difference with my “weaker” side.

So it's not the glute med? Everyone is saying how the glute med is responsible for everything, including balancing the fiscal budget. So it's the deep glutes (obturator, gamellis, piriformis etc..). Interesting.

I am a private yoga teacher and your videos have given me new ways to assist my students. Excellent, clear instructions. This one is perfect for those working on warrior 3. Collapsing into the hip is a common problem.

Could be one of the most important practices for women daily for life. :)

I’m in Chiropractic college and maybe thats why I appreciate the information more but I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Great information.

Thx man u helped me a lote from now iam apeble to improve well. Sorry 4 my bad english (India)

Thanks. I have poor balance overall. Now learning to ice skate, and balance is important. One leg is better than the other one. Weak leg hardly any stability or balance. Your video is really helpful. Will definitely practice what you teach.

I have had very poor balance for 30 years abs this is the most helpful instruction!

My hips are natural but one is big the other one is small.... what can I do

This has helped me so much. Thank you

I'm holding a single leg balance with my eyes closed and my hands are parallel to my vision area. Does 180 seconds indicate a good balance? ( Per foot )

Thanks so much, think it helped but we'll see for certain soon

Exactly what I needed! Thanks!

thank you for everything you're doing. have been struggling with my lower limbs for the last 2-3 years (flat feet, valgus knees) and finding your videos more useful than other channels around. keep it up!

Hi Eric, I have left instability/trendelenburg gait. My question is, my ql on that side w/any type of strengthening for that left side starts hurting. Pulling on my last rib, lumbar area and sometimes sij. I think, am pretty sure my right leg is shorter, not structurally but due to either my left side instability or just general tightness on the right side. Would it still help me to do this exercise and is there away I can get the ql to calm down while doing it. It becomes so darn painful. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice, been confrunting with this problem for 5 yrs. Hope this drill ll help me restore the balance on my lefty

Just came across this video. Thank you so much! Light bulb moment after years of wobbling!

This is usefull thank u

I'm going to try this! I have had joint dysplasia leading to SEVERE arthritis and to an early hip replacement. I found that years of limping has caused atrophy of my deep stabilizer muscles, they start to cramp if I try to even stand on one leg. I can't actually walk without a single leg stand! I'm young and using a walker 😢 and I can't wait to lose it. Here's to using your video.

I been watching your videos for a little under a year. I must say you are a genius...this is the first time I commented, also just subscribed...thank you for your knowledge. Wish you can train me :(

Well explained

Thanks a lot for this great information!! It was just what I needed.

I am an amputee oh, thank you this helped me with my paddle boarding and my one Wheeling

Whenever I stand on my left leg, my pelvis and belly button rotates towards the right... Can't see a real drop on the opposite side, is more of a rotation. I can't seem understand which muscle I should focus on to be able to stay straight. Can it be weak left hip abductor and tight adductors?

This is excellent thank you, I am a once athletic 68 year old who now has severe osteoarthritis in the right hip along with a slight fracture near the humeral head.I feel the need to activate my inner hip muscles as you describe. I feel the results. I'll work hard on this. Thanks!

Excellent! It's amazing how well this comprehensive activation works.

I hope you are appreciate how talented you are - far above the rest. I am 66 and I shudder to think what surgeries our health care system would put me through when your instruction can heal me. Thank you so much!!!

Wow. I have been searching for info on single leg instability for a long time and all I found suggested lateral movement exercises that were not doing it for me. Starting this today. Thank you

Thank you so much as your video helped me in balancing my legs

Great video, thank you. I survived a stroke in june21 and this exercise is the first I've done which allows me to feel gains balancing on my left side single leg stand, cheers!

My whole left leg is less stable. It goes down from my calf being less muscular, my foot pronating, up to my left glute and glute med being weaker. I have had many problems on this side already. Do you have any time lines for how long it takes to improve stability ?

Thanks so much!! Haven’t felt my hips for the past 15 years

Thanks for the vid. Gonna follow it from today on.

This helped me because my feet always hurt when i run this helped me and now i can run

Another terrific video. Clear, concise and even better, helpful.

this was great man. i, as physical therapist loved the content of this video. much appreciated

Hopefully this helps me when I’m skateboarding, I can’t push because keeping my balance on one leg is so hard for me

Great video

Does this help with a person that had a stroke. I’m paralyzed on one side

This is super helpful after acl surgery!

great video . my problem is that my foot is not stable

really smart and helpful!

Thank you so much.

i cannot do the exercise, as i cannot balance my feet. My feet keep unbalanced. any tips to do this exercise ?

Thank you :)

What a great start to my new year, you are!!! The best discovery. Your teaching of all the details is very well explained and easy to follow. Thank you so much for helping us keep our bodies finely tuned and in tip top shape!

This is the best video on the internet. I'm a post stroke for many years. I have a weak right side gluteus. Eric, would any forms of movement which cause the right abductor sore help to stregthen the abductor?

Serious fatigue deep in the hip! 😂. Thank you! The split stance metatarsal push down is a great cue for me.
