In this short instructional video, Bill from Beyond Fitness Online demonstrates a safe core‑strengthening movement designed for individuals who have balance challenges. He explains how to set up a modest obstacle (6–12 inches tall) in front of the feet, keep the hands behind the back, and maintain a tall spine. The exercise involves lifting both feet together over the obstacle and returning, barely touching the ground on each side, performed at a moderate pace for 10–20 repetitions. Bill emphasizes feeling engagement in the core rather than the hip flexors, advising viewers to stop and rest if hip flexor fatigue occurs. The video ends with a call to follow for more fitness tips.

So what we're going to do is we're going to put our feet together. We're going to have something fairly tall, about 6 to 12 inches tall, right here in front of us.

We're barely touching the ground on each side. We're going to repeat this at about this speed for about 10 to 20 reps. You should feel more of the engagement here.
