Description

From a supported hinge, shift weight to one leg and extend the other behind only as far as balance and hip control allow; keep trunk and lifted leg aligned.

Easier option

Keep toes of the lifted foot on the floor and hands on a wall or chair.

Breathing cue

Keep breathing; use support and step down before balance is lost.
