So we're going to start off with our footwork. Go ahead and pull out and all the way and stretch that spring as far as you can and then pull it in as far as you can, all the way and all the way in could all the way. Let's get those inner thighs squeezed together and give me four more, maybe a little narrower with your knees for me. That's it.
