Heel Split

Swivel both heels apart and back with your weight on your toes.

Also called: Heel Swivel

How to do it

  1. With weight on the balls of both feet, swing both heels outward.
  2. Bring them back together.

The thing people get wrong

Easier in boots than sneakers. Rubber soles grip and fight you.
