Seated Single-Leg Toes Press

Setup

Seated tall on a chair, one leg forward with the heel on the floor, the hands on the thighs.

Steps

1. Press the toes of the forward foot down into the floor.
2. Hold the press for a beat.
3. Release the toes; switch legs after the set.

Common mistakes

Pointing the whole foot: keep the heel down; the toes press. Pushing with the leg: the thigh stays relaxed. Holding the breath with the press: breathe out as you press.

Breathing

Steady throughout; never held.
