Instructions
1. Imagine launching a rocket into the sky in slow motion as you feel your feet, ankles, and hips working together to establish stability and power.
2. Begin by planting both feet firmly on the ground with your glutes and hips elevated to the sky, as if you were getting ready for a thrilling rocket launch.
3. Working one ankle at a time, start with your right heel and lift it off the ground gently like a countdown; pause in between each count until your foot is just barely hovering above the surface.
4. Return your heel to the ground with just as much grace, feeling the muscles in your lower body contract and engage with each movement.
5. Continue this rocking motion for several more counts until you have reached liftoff, propelling you closer to success!
6. Remember to keep your core tight and your ribs pulled down so that your lower back is not over-arched.
7. Finally, once you have reached the peak of your rocket launch and feel the ultimate sense of power and strength, come back to earth for a safe and successful landing!
