When standing, the overall balance of the body should be where the feet evenly support the body when they are placed directly under the hip joints. The placement of the body’s weight should be evenly distributed over the 3 points that form a triangle on the feet. That is:

There should be no pressure forward on the toes or backward on the heel. By also placing pressure on the outside edge of the foot, you may feel as if you’re creating an arch where the arch should be. Try to maintain this tripod position whenever standing and especially when lifting.
