Lesson 8 exercises 4 and 5

Post by Henry Marczak »

A tip for this exercise if having difficulty with balance is to have a pole or wall behind you.

I'll have to try that. I have a poor sense of balance.

For squatting you can hang a strap from above, like from a hook in a basement floor joist. I hold onto the ends of a Japanese martial art belt looped from a hook and do one leg squatting. Helps with control going down, also works the arms and shoulders a bit.
