• Stand up with your feet hip width apart.

• Keep your arms out to your sides for balance.

• Lift your left leg a few inches off the floor and hold for 30-60 seconds.

• Engage your hip muscles to create a long, neutral line up your body. If this is confusing – try letting your hip relax out to the side and then tighten and contract it to align it under your shoulders – this is also another great exercise hip huggers.

• Repeat 2-4 times on each side. You will feel all the muscles in your foot, ankle and hip fatiguing in seconds!

• When this is easy progress to wearing no shoes.

• When that gets easy stand barefoot on a towel, pillow or pad to further challenge the muscles and balance.  If you get to SuperStar status, close your eyes (very hard).
