REMINDER please sign up in advance for tonight's 7pm ZUMBA Dance fitness class...the instructor has a 45 minute drive! with Brandi Lee Schiffhauer every Wednesday night at 7pm.

This one is great if your balance feels shaky, your hips feel weak, or you want more control on one leg.

By reaching toward an object, you give your body a real target instead of just trying to stand still. That makes the movement feel more natural and challenges your balance, hip stability and posterior chain all at once.

A few important cues:
• Stand tall on one leg
• Hinge from the hips, not the lower back
• Keep your hips square
• Reach slowly and stay in control
• Think length from head to heel
• Switch sides and repeat

This can help train the kind of strength and coordination you need for walking, running, bending down and preventing awkward missteps.

If this feels too hard, don’t worry. You can reach less far, keep a slight bend in the standing leg, or use a wall nearby for support.

Comment “ROUTINE” for my free 7 minute mobility routine.

Not for everyone. Stay in a comfortable pain free range and stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness or loss of balance.
