you can also use the band/tubing technique w/uni-lateral moves... have a training partner provide some resistance or just attach an end to a rack/bench/etc and stand at a distance & angle that'll give you some 'neural input'.
re: "bambi" - since my clients tend to be "regular" people and not other fitness geeks, I've come up with a whole slew of 'common' terms to describe movements. Here's a few of my personal faves:
*
J-Lo (excessive anterior pelvic tilt)
*
Elvis (posterior tilt)
('porn star arse' & 'armadillo' can be interchanged, respectively, though they're more specific to the lumbar spine)
*
Betty Boop (lateral hip 'shift'; often seen during squatting/walking)
*
Michael Jackson (a common hip compensation pattern when doing a hurdle-step test [ala Gray Cook]; can be internal or external rotation)
*
What's the square root of pi? (elevated/shrugged shoulder(s))
If nothing else, they make for interesting visuals, don't ya' think?
