Purpose

Challenge balance and postural control in a narrow tandem stance with light support from the rear foot.

How to perform

Keep most of the weight through the working foot while the rear foot touches lightly for balance. Hold the position using small corrections through the feet and ankles, then switch sides.

Duration

20–30 seconds per side

Coaching cues

  • Use the rear foot only lightly
  • Stay tall and keep the gaze forward
  • Use small balance corrections
  • Use light fingertip support as needed, then gradually reduce it

Training level

This exercise is presented as one focused progression.

Once the standard setup feels consistently controlled, progress to the triangular bars for a greater stability challenge.
