KNEE

(Training the Legs)

Twist - 1

Feet positioned 2”- 4” outside the hips; chest facing forward (not in a batting stance).  Arms held a bit out from the sides of the body (for balance).  Weight on the front area of the feet (the part of the feet in front of the chins).  No weight on the heels.  Feet and legs turn back and forth, while keeping upper body (shoulders) still: 

Fives seconds.  Rest.  Repeat .

(We want the chest to remain facing forward; no movement of the shoulders. It will take kids a few days to a week, to be able to do this drill without the shoulders moving.)

Objective: Train the Lower Body to work independent of the Upper Body
