Trying these revealed a major imbalance between my right and left side. Left side is crazy weak and wobbly! Should have started doing these long ago. Thanks for the clear explaination.

[jennybaird]

Great instructions! I love this exercise. Thank you for pointing out how to do it better. I appreciate it!

Hey Charlee, OmG! I'm a fitness instructor and I've been doing them wrong all these years! I was taught the wrong way. Thank You! It just feels more comfortable for the weight to be in the hand of the leg that's standing and of course more balanced. I've got it now. Jeesh! So many people doing it incorrectly with so many instructors showing them wrong. =( Thanks for showing us proper form. =)

Thanks for this! I’ve been wondering about my form for a while now and this has helped! 🙃

[lhiserodt]

Thank you for clear and simple instruction!

Thank you! My body can tell a difference. My muscles were tensing with the other method since I already have some injuries I knew it couldn’t have been right.

Thank you slice for emphasizing the flat back and correct weight.

I like that you show the right way. Why spend time and effort on anything else? Technique is huge. I am sure I’ll watch your video a few times to catch all the ‘little things’ that mean so much.
Thank you!
