Question Supine Hip Extension

When I do the supine hip extension I have difficulty keeping my feet perpendicular on the ball. My toes want to roll out. I am sure that is an indication of an imbalance somewhere but I can't figure out where. Can anyone help me figure it out?

It might indicate tight hip external rotators like the glute medius or maybe even the piriformis. But it really doesn't matter. Just attempt to keep your feet pressed together during the exercise and work to correct the issue with good technique when you lift. If you notice problem with other lifts, like squats or deads, that also indicate a problem, then you might want to do something more.
