Ashley is just pure perfection.
The amount of decipline and focus required to get to that level of fitness carves a person into a true Superman/women.
Amazing..just amazing.
Sculpted legs and the efforts needed to get there changes a persons stance BIG time.
I wish more females would take up excercise seriously.
Great video thank you!
Inspiring and easy to do. A simple thing that helps improve all of life.
Crazy movements and such a different approach on fitness. You look amazing! Subscribed!
Might try this if it helps with sciatic pain and herniated disk
Hands down the best training channel I have ever seen:-) Mobility is key
It makes me smile every time you say “A squat is not a glute exercise “
Looks like I’m gonna be standing on one leg from now on. Might try doing it first thing in the morning to see if it helps me focus.
Whats the best 4 exercises to cover the glute muscles.
And lower belly
Thank you so much for this video. You have helped me so much. Every PT(including my sister) I’ve gone to has told me NOT to do any single leg exercises. No one has even mentioned standing on one leg and it seems to be the exact thing that’s helping me. Thank you again.❤️
My record was 6 hours on left foot, and once I did 4 hours left then switched to right for 4 hours, I went into a trip at the end, like doing some kind of drugs. Definatelly a good practise to train and follow, best of luck to you

Yeah.. So your videos are pretty much the “answer to my prayers”.Thanks for sharing!
My favorite is sumo squat due to my inner. Tighs i want them to be affined….thank you for this nice video Coach.
I just tried this! My left leg is the weakest… I will be doing this everyday!
Even standing on two legs on the balls of my feet was a challenge at first. I practise it whenever I stood at a traffic lights. A few weeks later, I can feel that I am stronger in my legs and my spinning in dance has improved
This video is one of my favourites!! I have just started doing this and feeling immediate effects. Loosening up my muscles around my hips, waist and back, and immediate improvement in balance. You really seem to filter your knowledge and experience, delivering the best tips/advice for us lay people. Your videos are perfectly shot too, imo. Thank you, and greetings from Ireland!
I find myself doing this throughout the day, on the elevator, in line at the grocery store, doing the dishes, its a great way to practice balancing.
Is it just me or her left quad is bigger than her right! Legs like a man but nice lol
Thank you for being on the internet. It’s so inspiring to see you so focused and so much in charge of yourself<3<3
Love from India!
this might sound as a stupid question but do you lock your knees?! if you lock your knees it sounds dangerous when you put weights into the equation. if you don’t lock your knees it sounds more like a quad exercise than an isolation exercise for the back.
How about getting her to work those glutes to counter act that nasty valgus? If your femurs don’t naturally eternally rotate (especially above 90 degrees) you have a weak ass. Athletes or people in general (especially men) who don’t focus on their glutes because they don’t want to look “uncool”, will at some point see diminishing returns on strength and power, but will also cause knee instability.
Very informative, thank you. Is there a fourth exercise for the fourth quad, or is that a silly question?
Thank you for the education. Anytime I squat I feel it in my glutes as well as my quads. As I push from my heels. Does this mean I am doing something improperly?
I love this video! Soooi informative! I’ll be trying it. Thank you!
Kai, I really hate when youre away for so long! Lol. You’re so informative. Black community needs more of you. I understand this YT isnt a “thing” in your life right now but honestly, you should decide to make this a thing. I feel like your journey is to become a coach/physicial therapist. So why not let YouTube be your introduction. Kill two birds with one stone. Blessings onto you, Kai!
I don’t always comment, but y’all always come with good tips and guidance. I have had some injury setbacks and good golly Miss Molly weight gain, but I popped some scar tissue in December. I’m feeling a comeback in my future…… filing and modifying your stuff. Thank you and Power Legs Ashley!
This could be a good video for golfers like me, so here I go on the single leg balancing, great video thanks.
ps Try standing on one leg with your eyes shut, super difficult.
I love this video! Simple, well thought out, and interesting.
Love this really helpful thank you. I am a why person and you gave the why!
Thanks for this. Encouraging to see that even a young athlete like you has to put some focus on this area cannot overstate the importance of single-leg balance for overall fitness and training. Also: I used to live just a mile from where you filmed this did not realize how much I missed the place until seeing it again here:-) Best regards!
What’s the best exercise to train legs if you have a weak lower back? and get lower back pain when squatting
I do that all 3 types of squats on alternate dy 2 sets of each squats 40 reps at ground without weight is it ok coach
Those legs are goals! Just beautiful and exactly what I’m aiming for.
Bring on the squats.
Thanks!
I need to add this to my daily routine. I experienced a great deal of difficulty balancing on my dominant leg. I definitely have work to do. Thank you.
Thanks for the beginner move. Now I can start there and get a decent workout. Eventually I will get to the intermediate one.
When I do these I still feel my buttocks engaging. Does that mean I’m doin it wrong?
I love single leg dumbbell deadlifts. Great at home and i felt i can’t fuck my back with bad form.
Did you round your back while doing any of these variations?
Thanks…Good info. I do squats pretty regular so this was helpful
The mechanics of being able to stand on one leg is determined by the three arches in your feet, especially the lateral arch due to its anatomical position. The improvement of the corporal equilibrium comes to having strong leg, leg anatomically being below the patella, muscles and organized correctly and furthermore it corrects flat feet overtime. Think of a bridge and what holds it together, tension and compression. The rest of the benefits are cherries added to the cake.
Nice videos. Please give us drills that can help improve passing and dribbling. Thank you
This fitness model have great legs. Does she use weights to get bigger leg muscle? I typically do 100 squats (5 sets/20 reps) and my legs are more lean. I’m trying to gain bigger legs and more muscle mass. I was told by a trainer that I need to do less squats reps and add weight to gain muscle. Was this good advice?
Iam going to star to follow her. My mom told me one day to follow my dream so…
Thanks for this! Is there a big difference with squatting with a dumbbell vs barbell? Do you get better results with one over the other?
Can you please upload some videos on inner thigh exercises or training the inner thigh muscles and reducing fat in the same area
With all due respect that’s a gorgeous pair of legs… those gams are beautifully-sculpted works of fine art. The exercise regimen & discipline it took for her to chisel those sexy legs make them even more attractive in my opinion. If I saw her on the street in shorts or a dress those legs would certainly turn my head… here, I can see what she did in the gym to earn them. Good video.
Beautiful girl. Sweet voice; nice diction. Good information. Appreciate all. Thank you. Motivated!
Awesome advice will definitely use in my routine ms ❤️
My knees hurt when I squat if only I could squat again. Used to get such a pump and good feeling after squatting now I have to resort to lunges, leg press, glute bridges and split squats.
