Description

  • Stand tall with your posture straight and stabilized at all time, balancing without holding onto anything.
  • With the ankle-strap secured around one ankle, start with the leg slightly bent forward, and then straighten it.
  • As you straighten it, move it behind you as far as you can without bending your torso or leaning.
  • Slowly return the leg forward.

ProTip

  • As you push the leg behind you, keep your abdomen tight

Mistakes

  • Excessively arching your back
  • Leaning the torso forward excessively
