This exercise is intended to add
proprioceptive challenge to the Single Leg Toe Taps.
To do this exercise you will
need a mat and a soft ball. Start by lying on your back with the soft
ball underneath your pelvis. Your legs will be in a tabletop
position. Inhale to prepare and exhale as you lower one leg to tap the
toe on the ground and return it to a tabletop position, then inhale in between
and exhale again as you lower the other leg and bring it back up. Repeat
5-10 times alternating sides.
Things to think about
The soft ball may make the pelvis a little wobbly,
so to keep it stabile will require additional abdominal strength.
Try and breathe into the back of your ribs during
the exercise. The space underneath the back that is created by the ball
allows for more room in the ribcage, so if you focus the breath there you might
be able to get some release
