Welcome back to Foundations RU-vid Channel. I’m standing here against the wall because I’m going to show you a single leg stance drill and we’re going to add a wall push. This is a great activity to learn or to gain some strength in the stabilizers of the hip on your stance side. So what you do is you stand up against the wall. Not going to lean against it you’re just going to be close to it. Then what you want to do is stand on your outside leg, or the leg away from the wall, you’re going to march this right leg up but while keeping the knee against the wall. Notice I don’t put the foot against the wall. I just come up and I’m trying to get this knee to clear my hip and then I create a little pressure here. Sometimes it helps to have a tiny bit of bend, you don’t want to lock out this knee and the harder I push against this wall the more I’m actually going to feel this side have to get stable. That’s an isometric hold that you’re going to do for time. You can work up your time up to your tolerance. And sometimes depending on the individual we’re all built a little bit differently you may feel more in your hip if you keep the knee a little bit lower or a little bit higher. Most of the time as you get stronger you’ll be able to get this leg way up, give a little push against the wall and you’ll definitely feel this glute working. Great single leg stability drill to train those hips to get stronger as you’re advancing this leg in your running mechanics to make sure you get a good push off on this left side.
