In this exercise we should be working on extention of the arms through our torso twists which also works our torso flexibility. We should be working on control through our flat backs and not nose dive! Tension of the legs when straightening our flat backs. Alingment when lifting into our stretch out pose. Spotting when torso twisting to the back. Energy through the speed of the extention exercise.
Throughout this exercise I lack energy and my tension is terrible! However at 0.04 my clarity and arm tension is good. At 0.06 I am having a serious nose dive, which shows I have low control levels of my flat back, to improve this I need to be more aware of where I am placing my body if a wiggle my hands and can see them out of the cornor of my eye I am doing it right, of course on a performance do can't do this but whilst doing the exercise it will improve and eventually I will just know where to put my body. At 0.21 though my flat back looks much more controlled which shows I can do it; it is just being able to do it continuously that I need to improve.
At 0.26 when turning my arms are far too back, this shows I need to improve my alingment; to do this I need to not fling my arms so much and place them more. At 0.30 I move too quickly which shows my memory was not working that day! To improve this I need an early night so my brain works the way it should!
From 0.34 onwards my energy is awful, I lack tension and enthusisum; However at 0.52 my alingment in my extention of the leg is good, it just needs to be more of a right angle; to do this I need to improve my flexibility, learning the splits could help..
My strengths in the exercise are when controlled my flat back however if I lose control of it it could become a weakness so I need to be careful of that. When extenting my leg my alignment is good however I need a bit more flexibility to improve this I will attempt learning the splits.
My weakensses in this exercise are tension and energy; I was clearly tired in this video as usually my energy and my tension is good so to improve this I need more sleep! Also I need more control; I need to place myself rather than plonk myself.
Targets:
- Engergy- Get some sleep !
- Control- Need to be less heavy in myself and place myself better.
