Instructions

Setup

  • Start in a wide stance, significantly wider than shoulder-width, with your feet pointed slightly outward.

  • Clasp your hands together in front of your chest for balance.

Movement

  • Shift your weight entirely to one side, bending that knee while keeping the other leg fully extended.

  • Ensure the heel of the bent leg stays firmly planted on the floor.

  • Keep your chest up and your back flat throughout the movement.

  • Without rising back to the center, transition your weight across to the other side by shifting your hips in a low, controlled movement (resembling the motion of a typewriter carriage).

  • Continue shifting from side to side in this low position.
