Exercise 2: Isometric Squat
We will position ourselves in an isometric squat. To do this, the lumbar must be Stuck to the wall and should not detach from it at any time during the execution of the exercise. Once in that position, we will perform a leg movement towards the outside alternatively drawing a circumference with the foot.
Exercise 3: Split and heel to glutes
In split position o leg spread (position in which the legs are aligned with each other and extended in opposite directions forming a 180º angle between them) we will bring the heel to the buttocks keeping the front knee flexed.
Exercise 4: Split and knee in front
Also placed in the split position we will carry the knee from back to front. We must keep the upper body slightly inclined forward.
Exercise 5: Twist jumps
To perform this exercise we will make small jumps flexing the knees in each one of them and we will perform a hip turn each time to one side. It is important to keep your head forward without turning.
