          Stand in power position without an implement in your hand, grab either a bungee cord attached to an immovable object or a person's hand. Rotate from the ground up with the bungee or the person providing resistance to the rotation. The feet should be the first to rotate, then the hips should "pop," leaving the shoulders slightly trailing behind. The resistance applied is often helpful at teaching the sensations that an athlete should feel when doing it correctly.
