Setup: Stand straight and grab one 5- to 10-pound FitFighter for each hand. Keep one foot planted while lifting the other foot off the ground. Lean forward with your arms extended. Your arms and your foot should be completely aligned, perpendicular to the ground
Action: Slowly lower your extended arms and leg to get back into the resting standing position. Switch your feet and do it again. Use the FitFighter for counterbalance. This motion will help warm up the hip joints and stabilize the muscles on your hips. Repeat for 20 to 30 reps each side.
