Alignment: Back Up Without Falling Back
“Why do I feel like I’m falling back when I back my weight over my heels?” or “Why are my quads gripping when I back myself up?” These are questions I get quite a bit, so I decided to answer it in a video post.
Want more information about backing up correctly? Below you will find a video post I did a while back explaining how to back your hips up to align your body.

How do you determine where the “center” of the hip is to see if it is over the ankle?
Hi Pam, If you put your hand on the side of the upper femur (greater trochanter) and abduct your leg, you can feel it easily. See this post for an image of the alignment points, http://www.alignedandwell.com/katysays/alignment-matters/
