Adam Hodges | June 1, 2012

This video is part of a series demonstrating the first part of a dynamic warm up: neuromuscular activation.

Stand on one leg while bringing the opposite leg up so that the thigh is parallel to the ground. Hold this position for 6 to 10 seconds. Then, drive that leg back so that it is behind your body with the calf now parallel to the ground. Hold this for 6 to 10 seconds; then switch to the other leg. Complete 2 to 3 repetitions for each leg.

  • Core Snap and Backward Lean
  • Quadriceps Activation
