Lateral Weight Shifts

Line up feet parallel and facing forward. The wider the stance the more difficult so find the width that is best for you. You can keep arms raised out in front of you to help you sit back into the squat (butt back and weight in heels). Try to keep your torso as vertical as possible. Shift body to the right, keeping knees behind toes and focusing on getting the shoulder and hip to arrive at the same time. Hold for 10 seconds. Shift weight to other side and hold for 10 seconds. Try to go back and forth 5-10 times (or until moderate fatigue/burn), holding each side for 10 seconds. Rest for 1-2 minutes, perhaps spending the time stretching or doing an exercise that allows your legs rest. Do 2-3 sets of this. Build up the reps over several weeks, to get to 10-15 per set. Only go as deep into the position as you can w/out more than discomfort and good form.
