taking a step forward with one hand to reposition it is definitely an option. i'm pretty sure that's how i started to do these. i can try to take a video of that method today.

but i think either way, the majority of your weight is in the hand you are using as a fulcrum for the twist. as the weight comes off the other hand, you can lift the heel of your hand off the floor, so that hand can move with your body rather than getting tweaked.
