Waiter Bows: 5x20
1. Hold something around 20 lbs. on your chest with crossed arms over it to keep it in place. A duffle bag with sand or sugar, your mid size dog. A new kid or something like that.
2, Arch your back by sticking your ass out for a "Selkow Approval" and your chest up.
3. Lock your knee into a 10 degree flex and don't let it extend or flex.
4. Push your hips back like we've been doing all along and bow over like a good "servant" would upon entering or leaving your royal situation.
5. Heavy into the heals, but make sure you stay balanced on your entire foot.
