3 Ways to Assess Your Leg Strength


Listen Later

Join me today to check out 3 leg strength assessment tests! These fun tests call on the strength of our legs and posterior chain, plus our balance, flexibility and explosive power. Since we as women carry over half of our skeletal muscle in our lower body, keeping our muscle tissue and bones strong as we age helps us maintain our balance and functional movement over time. These tests are a great tool to help you check in to see where you're at and if anything needs a little more attention.

We're covering….

⭐️ Taking care of little you and future you

⭐️ The sit to stand/sit to rise test

⭐️ Three moves that strengthen the muscles needed to come up and down from the floor

⭐️ The importance of staying limber and stretching regularly

⭐️ The wall sit test

⭐️ Standing broad jump test

⭐️ The importance of explosive power

⭐️ Training with good form and alignment

⭐️ The cortisol-cardio connection in menopause
