Single Leg Bench Get Up

How To Do A Single Leg Bench Get Up Correctly

The single leg bench get up is a deceivingly challenging move that improves balance, coordination, and targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.

To get started:

1. Sit on a bench, with your core tight, chest upright, maintaining a natural arch in your lower back, while extending your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground, at shoulder height.
2. Straighten one of your legs and raise it off the ground.
3. Rather than leaning forward to get up, press your foot firmly through the ground, while bringing your hips forward until you are standing on one foot.
4. Slowly sit down and repeat.
