How to Perform
- 1
Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat, and hands behind you with fingers pointing toward your feet.
- 2
Press through your hands and heels to lift your hips off the floor.
- 3
Walk forward by moving an opposite hand and foot together, keeping your hips high.
- 4
Walk backwards the same way.
Tips
- ★Hips stay lifted - letting them sag turns it into a shuffle on your backside.
- ★Keep your shoulders down away from your ears rather than shrugging into the position.
