Focus:

• Keeping hips neutral during the exercise - ie. don't allow them to drop or rotate as you move the foot.

• By hinging the hip and bending the knee, tap the foot forward, to the side, behind and around to the side.

• Key is to keep the hip, knee and ankle of the standing leg in a straight line as you bend and extend to perform the motion.

• Use a broom, stick, PVC pipe, etc. for assistance with balance

Suggested Frequency:

8 reps in each position – 3 times a day
