Bowler Squats

Begin standing on the left leg while keeping the right leg in line with the body and the foot just off the floor. Next, slowly squat down while allowing the right leg to move behind the body and across the midline in a posterolateral direction. Squat as far down as possible while reaching the right foot to the furthest point without touching it down to the ground. Return to the start position and repeat this sequence.

Perform 10 repetitions, and the switch legs. If necessary, lightly touch the toes of the trail leg to the ground to prevent a loss of balance before moving back to the start position. Keep in mind the primary goal of this exercise is to master body control, so a slower cadence with an emphasis on quality movement is preferred.
