Most traditional leg strength exercises work in one or two planes of motion. It is rare to find a leg strength exercise that covers all planes of motion. I have seen some excellent leg strength adaptations from practicing the Four Corner Balance Drill (4CBD) regularly – and I especially like it because it builds strong legs in ALL planes of motion, which is how real life happens… in 3-D. Try out this leg strength exercise, and I guarantee you will be on your way to enjoying strong legs.

Here is a video demo of the Four Corner Balance Drill for strong legs, please follow along with the beginner level exercises (the beginner level leg strength exercises are… front: toes pulled back…side: toes pulled back…rear: toes pulled back…front: toes pulled back…ankle over knee). Please don’t advance to the toe point or hand-assisted levels until you have mastered the beginner level first.
