Before I went to bed I knew I needed to set the alarm for 6:00 am ... really Diane, s'mores?
7:00 am FS session. You should have seen the surprised look on my coaches face! I am not a morning person.
That ping is still going on in my right posterior ankle. Wrapping with an ace bandage seems to quiet it down. Joints were barking and flexibility was not cooperating. Ah the joys of figure skating at age 54.
I worked on all my jumps prior to setting up the camera. Took a nasty fall on a Lutz.. fell way back on my blade and then onto my back. First time for that one. Wrists are a little sore too.
I like my progress on the split flip. A few weeks at the gym and doing flex should greatly improve that air position.
The back spins are really a road block for me ... haven't had a lesson for a while on them.
Hi Diane! I am also struggling with the back camel, so I can totally commiserate with you. Believe it or not, but your free leg is too high on the back camel (and flying camel). Try bringing it down closer to parallel. I know you're not a huge fan of the back sit spin (yet), but the entrance to the back camel is the same as the back sit. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteI see that from the video... how to tell my body to cooperate is another story!!!
