Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start by standing with a dumbbell in each hand holding them at your side. Shift your weight to one side as you bring the other knee to your chest. Alternate marching in place while trying to keep your torso as still as possible.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your forearms, shoulders, and hips working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your back straight up, don’t bend over. Keep the dumbbells at your side, don’t move them forward or backward. Don’t shrug your shoulders on either side, keep your traps relaxed.
