At-home exercises

>>practice '12:55'. Imagine you are standing on a clock. Place your feet just inside the time five to one. Your heels will be together and your big toes roughly an inch apart. Make sure that you have rotated the legs as well as the feet to achieve this position. Try a couple of circuits of your room with your feet in this position. As you walk with your legs slightly out, you will feel stronger and more centred in your hips.

>>to improve posture in the upper back, take a seat and without any rounding or pushing back of the shoulders, raise them as high as you can. Still with your shoulders lifted, take a deep breath in and at the same time, rotate your arms so that the palms of your hands are facing forwards and the fingertips are pointing straight down to the floor. Slowly exhale, keep your arms rotated, lower your shoulders by concentrating on the muscles across your upper and middle back and pull down towards the floor with your fingertips.

>>try this simple exercise to get a relaxed and beautiful swing to the arms. As you walk around the room pat the thigh of the leg that you are stepping onto with the opposite hand. Keep this up for a few minutes or until you have sorted out your coordination.
