Body positioning

Postby Cookie » Sun Feb 21, 2016 3:00 pm

Noticed I put a lot of weight through my heels when standing etc.

Any reason(s) why and tips to correct this?

would need to see normal standing posture, the balance thing thw Wii had would help

how are hip flexors if they are tight it will pull you out of shape, though really a rear to front bias isnt that bad

deadlift driving through heels, squat mid foot drive etc

Forgot about the Wii set up =D>

All those are still pretty tight and I am working on them religously. Hamstring/back/Achilles and down are the worst areas plus need to work on Psoas to free up the midsection.

Can't seem to feel mid foot when squatting either heels or I roll forwards to ball.
