Let's try our Hagalla Walk, drilling it by traveling forward and back and actually walking with it. So we're going to push our hip back. Let's try in place first. So one knee is going to kind of straighten a little bit as the other one bends, it's going to allow the pelvic region to tilt slightly and your accent is going to be back here in the shifting of the weight toward the back. Now, let's step forward. So the feet are going to do the same thing. They're not going to change a thing. But as you move forward, everything is going to just move the same way, you're just good in yourself forward. Now let's go back, and back, and back. Make sure when you go back you keep your weight a little bit more on the front of your toes so you don't lose your balance. And then add the arms. Good. Let's speed it up. Make sure to keep the chest lifted. And keep your belly button engaged. And keep breathing and move forward. Just take tiny steps, you don't have to go very fast or far. And then go back. That's it. Very good. And forward. Have a big smile on your face. Good. Practice this in the mirror. Make sure you have all your parts in the right place.
