some easy exercises

here are a few simple exercises to work on:

1) arm circles - get your arms out perpendicular to the floor and rotate them, forwards and backwards, little circles and big circles. do 10 of each variety.

2) dirty dogs - get on all fours, then raise one leg, keeping it at 90 degrees and raising so it is perpendicular to the floor. hold it for 3 seconds. you should look like a dog taking a whiz. that's ok. this will work the hips, and the hips are the key to any sort of powerful movement ("hip drive"). do 10 for each leg.

3) standing knee raises. spread your legs hip width apart. raise your arms so they are perpendicular to the floor. raise your knee as high as you can, and hold it for 3 seconds. do 10 for each leg.
