Glut med against wall ¼ squat, hip extension with thoracic rotation (Coordination, pelvic stabilization (level 3) - hip flexion/extension, trunk rotation/flexion, ball on wall)

Stand side onto the wall with the ball between your thigh and the wall.
Press the ball against the wall using your thigh and hip muscles and lift your leg off the floor with the knee bent and gently push the ball against the wall with this thigh.
Bend the leg you are standing on and move into a slight squat.
Maintain this position whilst you move the thigh with the ball backwards by moving through the hip.
At the same time as your leg moves backwards, move your shoulder near the wall toward your opposite hip by twisting through the upper back.
This exercise is an important movement component of effective running.

Required equipment: Ball - large, Wall, Stability Ball
