Your Backside Creates Strong and Steady Balance

Engaging the backside of your legs will strengthen your stance, improve your balance and begin to develop your posterior driven gait. In this exercise, you start with a simple hinge at the hip to lengthen the hamstrings, and then, driving your feet into the ground, feel like your heels are pulling backward, and let that action tilt your body upright again. Continue to feel the engagement of the back of the legs and move into a hip list to balance on one leg. Then continue walking.
