Free Leg Exercises

The balance is certainly a prerequisite to good dancing. Therefore, one of the main benefits of the dance is developing a good balance and poise.

For So how do you go about developing the quality of difficult balance to achieve? You begin to understand the three elements and the practice of some simple exercises to develop:

  1. The leg support
  2. Vertical Alignment
  3. Horizontal Alignment

In this article we provide an easy exercise to develop its first element. Awareness of the supporting leg.

The first element - "the supporting leg"

(Print this Council so you can try this little exercise walking as you read).

WALKING EXERCISE 1

Standing in a hallway or any other area where you can take several steps to walk.

Stand with your weight on your right foot with left foot free. Take the first step, focusing in his left foot while moving forward. As the weight transfer, the right foot becomes his free foot. This time he concentrated on his right foot while moving forward.

Go ahead repeating this process of walking and concentrate on the free leg.

What did you notice - normal She was not it? Well, That's usually how people walk, focusing on the free foot as they move from one leg to the other.

WALKING EXERCISE 2

Now we want to test the exercise of walking the same with a small fountain.

Stand with your weight back on the right foot with left foot free. To start the walk, compress the right leg slightly pressing down with your body (allowing the knee to flex some), then spring forward out of his right foot. Focus on your right leg until the weight is transferred to the other leg.

Repeat the same process in left leg. Compressing the left leg and spring forward left foot focusing on the left leg until the weight is transferred.

Repeat this process move forward walking and concentrate on the supporting leg.

What noticed - it felt more powerful did not? With a little practice you will discover two important things. His walking is getting stronger and are able to reach the other leg in complete control balance and ready for the next move.

For a better ball, paying more attention to their source of power and balance - leg support.

Happy Dancing Blanche and Emilio

Next Issue: (Part 2 of 3) The second element - "VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

The vertical alignment will allow you to stay on your toes in perfect balance and master the rise and fall of the dances like the Waltz and Foxtrot.

Recently I injured my left groin and it's hard for me to lift the left leg, how I can improve this?

During class dance, I can not lift my left leg forward. It does so little less than 90 degrees. Despite my right is perfectly fine and goes up as it used to before the injury. Are there any exercises I can do to heal and improve my groin? My mother suggested physical therapy, but she did not think to make an appointment yet. So instead do exercises that meeting and in my spare time at home.

I once pulled a groin muscle and could not find any exercise to help - Including physical therapy. But then it occurred to me one on my own. Skating is the perfect exercise for a pulled groin - and also becomes a good strengthener to prevent groin pulls in the future. When I returned to my doctor for a follow-up visit, she was surprised when I said he was fully healed. He said it was too fast, and asked what I had done to heal. When I talked about ice skating, I was surprised, and said he had never thought that. The slight sideways movement and friction gives the perfect and the resistance movement. It's kind of pool is great to strengthen the legs after injuries knee. Good luck!
