HOW: Anchor a band low to the ground. Pull the band away from the anchor to tension it before placing it under the fat pad of your big toe. Lift one leg up and hold a single leg balance for the prescribed time without losing the band.
FEEL: You will feel the inner arch of the foot working. You will also begin to feel surrounding foot and ankle muscles working as you extend your hold as they work to maintain your upright position.
COMPENSATION: Do not claw your toes on the ground. Avoid side bending through the trunk and hiking the pelvis.
