Set-Up
Walk yourself an arm’s length away from the barre and stand with your feet
and knees together.
Place your palms on the barre so that your arms form a wide ‘V’ position.
Separate your toes so that your feet form a ‘V’ position approximately two
to three inches wide.
Slightly bend your knees.
Bend your working leg to a 90-degree angle and point your toes.
Extend your working leg back as far as possible.
Keep the working leg behind the standing leg at all times.
Shift your weight onto the inside of the foot of the standing leg so that you
do not sit into the hip.
Lower your shoulder blades to your seat and relax your rib cage.
Movement
Extend your working leg back as far as possible, and from that point, press
the leg back in slow, controlled pulses.
