Stand on the floor, take one foot off the ground. Make sure your body stays straight (dont lean your torso off to the side). Keep your hip, knee and ankle in a slight bend. Hold for as long as prescribed.
Special Notes
You can progress this by: Changing surface (eg matt, pillow, mattress), closing your eyes, changing your center of gravity (move your arms or other leg or try throwing and catching a ball to make it sport specific).
