Single Leg Roll Aways
Single Leg Roll Aways develop strength in the abdominals, hip flexors and obliques. The exercise places the hip flexor under stress in a lengthened position, making roll aways a helpful range of motion exercise.
To progress to the movement ensure you hold a single leg bridge position for 10-15 seconds after performing a series of swiss ball crunches. This will ensure you have adequate core strength. Also learn the correct technique with Standing Roll Aways, before progressing to the single leg version
If you experience lower back discomfort, check your lower back position and also make sure your abdominal strength is advanced enough for this movement
