The following training protocol will go a long way in helping the performer maintain proper pelvic girdle alignment before, during and after skill execution:
1. Weight-bare on one leg and balance for 3 seconds while maintaining a horizontally aligned pelvic (illustration A);
2. Raise-up the opposite side of the pelvic girdle laterally as high as is mechanically possible and hold for 3 seconds while maintaining balance (illustration B);
3. Lower pelvic girdle laterally to below horizontal and hold for 3 seconds while maintaining balance (illustration C); and
4. Step forward on opposite leg and repeat Nos. 1 through 3. Perform 5 repetitions on each leg after each beam training session.
