Exercise Tips
- When you take a step, your feet should never be closer than shoulder-width apart. The point of this exercise is to keep your legs spread, take small steps, and not allow your shoulders to move up and down as you step.
- Don't let your hips tilt back (i.e., the zipper goes up towards your face) as you open your knees.
- You should mostly feel it in your gluteus medius (upper outer thigh).
