Split Stance Snap Down
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin in a standing position with one foot’s toes aligned with the other foot/s heels in a split stance position. Raise both hands overhead and push into the ground all the way raising your heels all the way up. From here, throw your hands down, hinge forward at the waist, and bend both knees down. You want to perform this all in one motion in a quick, powerful motion absorbing the weight as you end in a split stance position.
- FEEL: You should feel your leg muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your chest up as you hinge forward at the waist.
