Fusion Ball

This exercise is designed to help young students grasp the concept of leg rotation while keeping their hip alignment intact. It emphaises the significance of proper foot positioning and encourages them to focus on elongating and strengthening their toes.


Preparation: Ask the students to lie down on the mat with their right foot resting on a fusion ball in a parallel position. If any student has hyperextended legs, adjust the placement of the ball beneath their calf muscles accordingly. Ensure that both legs are parallel and their hands are resting beside their bodies with palms facing upwards.


Tips:

1. The right leg is drawn up in parallel, focus on long & strong toes.

2. The leg is rotated externally while maintaining proper alignment of the hips.

3. The leg returns back to its parallel position, then extending back to its initial starting point.

4. The movement is repeated three times.

5. Student switches to the left foot on the fusion ball and repeat the steps.


Focus: It is crucial for students to maintain steady hip alignment throughout the process of leg rotation.
