Egyptian Shimmy with Weight Change

This week’s shimmy drill is the same exercise as last week’s except this time we are going to use the Egyptian (straight leg) shimmy. For the Egyptian shimmy version of this exercise, the shimmy will NOT be even when you switch to all the weight on one leg. The Egyptian shimmy is driven by the motion of the knees. So when you take the weight off one leg, that leg is no longer helping to create the shimmy making it larger on one side. Practice the weight shifting to one side, center, other side by using the same 8 or 16 count series as mentioned last week for the hip lift shimmy. If you need to review the last weeks post, here is a link that will take you directly to it http://huraivaalimah.blogspot.com/2012/01/hip-lift-shimmy-with-weight-change.html Have fun with your shimmy drill!
