Have you even been working out at the health club with weight and felt a little unsteady?  I bet it’s your feet.  Not the size of your feet – but the position of your feet.  It’s makes a big difference. 

The other day I was teaching a group fitness class exercising our shoulders with dumbbells.  And I noticed that out of 40 people, about half were swaying left and right – not feeling balanced at all. 

The problem was a common one, and very fixable one.  It’s all about foot position – otherwise known as your foot stance. 

Whenever you’re exercising with weights while standing, you want to feel grounded and centered.  You achieve that by positioning you legs about shoulder width, bend your knees just a little to soften them and hold your head, shoulder and chest in a neutral position – in other words level and comfortable. 

Having a proper foot stance will dramatically improve your form, keep you safe and give you a feeling of control when you workout.  Try it next time.

Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now so that you can do more, later.
