16. Straddle Pulses

Start sitting in a wide straddle pose - spine neutral - shoulders relaxed - core engaged - legs extended out to each side as wide as comfortable opening the hip flexors - bend the knees and raise the legs onto the back wheels of the skates - roll the skates in towards the body bending at the knees further - simultaneously roll the legs in and out with a rhythmic action - continue for 1 minute.

Single straddle pulses can also be done alternating the legs so that each is moving in the opposite direction to the other.
