Clumsiness Prevention Program _ Ever worry about tripping over your own feet? We all seem clumsy occasionally. One way to help prevent clumsiness is to make sure you are strong and stable on one leg. That way we can catch ourselves when we stumble. Ana is doing a great job creating a beautiful line in her single-leg Romanian deadlift. That line should travel from ankle, through the hip joint, to the shoulder, as is evident in the photo. The longer the line, the better. Bonus points for the braced torso and whole foot contact with the support leg. Strong work, Ana!
