- nothing: just your bodyweight
How to do it
- Stand on one foot, knee slightly unlocked, the other foot lifted a few centimetres off the ground.
- Stay tall, eyes on a fixed point in front of you.
- The standing foot is working: feel the big toe, the little toe and the heel grounded.
Common mistakes
- The free hip drops and your pelvis tilts.
- You go stiff instead of letting your foot make its small corrections.
