Exercise: Counter Balance

SqueezeItIn.com Girls

Even standing at the counter is a great opportunity to SqueezeItIn. Work on your balance and strengthen your core with our Counter Balance.

Counter Balance 1While standing in front of your counter bend your knees slightly and engage your core (squeeze in your abs).  Slowly lift one leg off the floor about six inches. (See photo.)

Counter Balance 2Make sure your standing leg is stabilized to help you balance. Hold your stance for 15 seconds.  Bring your leg back down and continue for 2 sets of 12 on each leg.

To increase the difficulty raise your leg higher and/or increase the length of time you keep it raised.
