8) POWER JOG (Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Basic Glide. When you feel comfortable
and balanced, slowly release your hands and bring
them into your sides in a “jog” position. Allow your
arms to pump naturally as if you were jogging.
Maintain good, upright posture throughout this exer-
cise, and a “soft” knee position. Glide only as wide as
you can while maintaining good balance and posture.
Be careful not to get your head or shoulders in the way
of the swinging handles. Upright posture will prevent
this from happening. This is an advanced exercise
that should be performed only after proficiency
is attained on the first four basic exercises.

7) POWER GLIDE (Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Wide Glide. Adjust your hands to a neutral
or high grip hand position. Gradually increase the
length of your stride as far as you comfortably can. Your
heels will naturally lift slightly as each leg moves to the
back. As you glide, allow your shoulders and torso to
rotate slightly side to side, pressing and pulling firmly
with your arms. Maintain good, upright posture
throughout this exercise, and a “soft” knee position.
Avoid over rotating your torso which could effect bal-
ance. This exercise can be performed with the neutral
or high hand grip positions. Glide only as wide as you
can while maintaining good balance and posture.

6) BACKWARD LEAN (Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Basic Glide. Move your hands to a high grip
position. As you glide, slowly lean back until you feel
more weight in your arms. Your legs will glide in front of
your body. Keeping your wrists straight, pull back firmly
with alternating arms. Make sure you are leaning back
from your ankles, a full body lean, rather than rounding
your back or “sitting”. This exercise can be performed
with the high or neutral hand grip position. You will feel
additional emphasis in the upper back, back shoulders,
and the biceps during this exercise. This is an advanced
exercise that should be performed only after profi-
ciency is attained on the first four basic exercises.
