strong feet and ankles - part 5 of 5, the 1leg jump, stick, & touch

the final piece of the series, the 1leg jump, stick, and touch
shoes off!
hop or jump forward off one leg.  land on the same leg and stick the landing
with an extended knee, slowly lean over to stretch the hamstring and touch the ground.  stand and repeat
the purpose of this exercise is to strengthen ankle stabilisers using dynamic motion.  it's essential to 'stick' the landing so begin with a smaller, hopping action and progress toward a jumping action as the skill warms up
