Single-Leg Get-Up

In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute breaks down the Single-Leg Get-Up — a simple but sneaky-tough lower-body drill that lights up the glutes, quads, and core while teaching you how to drive force through one leg.

🔥 Benefits of the Single-Leg Get-Up:

• ✅ Trains powerful single-leg drive through the foot into the ground
• ✅ Challenges glutes, quads, and core without needing heavy equipment
• ✅ Builds control going from seated to standing and back under tension
• ✅ Reinforces active foot pressure instead of “passive” pushing
• ✅ Great option for runners and athletes needing single-leg strength
