"KIRK VICKERS: The next movement is another dynamic hip swing. We're going to turn around and face the wall, hold on to a wall or a pole like I'm doing here. You can lean in a little bit with this particular motion. What we're going to do is we're going to let our legs swing across the body just like a pendulum. What we don't want to do is create a lot of turning at the hip and the pelvis. It's straight across to the side. Again, as you cross the midline of the body, it may pull the foot off. If it starts to pull the foot off, just reposition the foot and start back where you count--where you left off on your count. I'd like to do 15 to 25 of these on each leg. Switch, you may find that one leg has more movement than the other. That's okay. Always use as the weakest side as your limit, to how many you should do. Forwarding them back, we get a lot of momentum, a lot of swing with this particular motion and movement."
