Slide backwards

Now we will start the exercise “slide backwards”.

You need a surface which you can glide on and possibly a dishrag or a washcloth or something that can glide on the floor.

Place your one foot on the dishrag or the washcloth, then you start moving your leg backwards and forwards again. The other leg which is standing on the ground, you need to bend it up and down.

The exercise is good for training your muscles’ ability to work together, this means your muscles’ ability to perform at the right moment.

It is important that you do the exercise slowly – and in a controlled manner.

It is also very important with this exercise that you make sure that your hip, knee and foot work in a straight line as straight as possible.

If your knee starts bending in, you need to try and press it out so that you can maintain the straight line.

Repeat this ten times, take a short break and then do ten again.
