Another method is to imagine your feet are like tree roots, digging under and becoming part of the ground. Sounds silly, but with the proper visualization and centering, this will make a difference even when you push hands.

Bearing in mind visualizatin = intention.

You can also practise this way while practising forms (slowly, if it is a fast form).

I've pushed hands with some well rooted people (taiji) and they are just like ... impossible to move. It felt like I was pushing hands with a tree (just the way he was moving, his arm extended), it was amazing how immovable he was.

The above 'excercise' or training concept was his advice.
