Purpose:

This is one of the signature exercises of Bernie Falk. Primary purpose is to learn, sense, and feel the weight on the feet, not the legs or back. Also, feel the knees moving forward, not snapping back.

Position:

Assume a squat position with knees well flexed.

Approach:

Lower head, relax back, and execute a low walk. With 50% of weight on heels, roll on outside of foot, then place 25% on four toes, and then 25% on big toe. The foot should roll from heel to outside to four toes to big toe. A smooth gradual foot roll prevents foot overload.
