Standing Weight-Shift Rocks
Proprioception, weight distribution awareness, balance foundations
Why it works
Weight-shift rocks build awareness of how you distribute force through your feet. Most people live entirely on their toes or heels without knowing it. This exercise makes the pattern visible.
How to do it
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms relaxed
- Slowly shift your weight forward onto your toes, then back onto your heels
- Feel where your weight naturally settles and keep the movement slow and controlled
- Notice where your weight naturally settles — that tells you something
