As promised, here's the video of the workout.



For some reason, my video editing software cut off my head. It was there in the original video, I swear! From this point forward, the video software will henceforth be known as The Queen of Hearts.

Ahem.

(I am still struggling with learning how to use my video editing software. Not sure why the top half of my face got cut off here, but it doesn't detract from the information, at least. I will figure this software out, yet!)

This is less of a tutorial than it is a plea to pay closer attention to your kneeling leanback descents to the floor. That landing should be smooth and not jerky. You can accomplish this through practice, and ensuring that you do not relax until your head and shoulderblades have touched the floor.

Warning: Please don't punch someone in the junk. Unless they really, really deserve it.

This is quite possibly the most physically demanding movement I do in my floorwork. It requires a lot of strength through the abdominals, back muscles, glutes, and quads.

Not for the weak of heart!

Make sure you have mastered both the kneeling leanback and the pelvic lift to kneeling before attempting this one.

I know I vacillate between calling it a leanback and a layback, but it's all semantics, really. :P

What Next?

I enjoy making video blogs. Here are some upcoming video tutorial ideas:
  • Stop Crash Landings - floorwork layback tips
  • Side plank push-ups
  • Bridge push-ups
Are there any moves you'd like to see?

Link time.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault: Nice and spooky sequential art.

Mt. Huashan Walking Trail: This is one scary looking hiking trail.

Brisket Flip-Flop: If I wore flip-flops, these are the ones I'd want.

Unique Wineglass: Pretty nifty-looking, but I think you'd empty a vineyard filling these glasses at a party.

Scientists Convert Skin Cells Into Blood Cells Directly: You know I'm a White Wolf dork when my first excited thought was how this would impact the Vampire campaign I was playing in Hamilton.

Energy Committee Chairman Candidate Says God Promised no More Catastrophic Climate Change after Noah: Yup. So we don't need to worry.

A molecular link between the active component of marijuana and Alzheimer's disease pathology: Very interesting. Pot might stop Alzheimer's. Nice....

A piece of their mind: "Conjoined twins Tatiana and Krista may see through each other’s eyes and even share unspoken thoughts." Creepy and cool!

The pelvic lift to kneeling is an advanced exercise which requires a certain level of flexibility before you try it. If you do not have this level of flexibility, please do not attempt the exercise, as you will likely injure yourself.

This is a basic movement for my own dance floorwork, and requires more leg and glute strength than the basic kneeling leanback (I have a tutorial for this movement, as well).

YouTube is being a dildo and after three separate attempts, still chops off half the audio and speeds up the video two times. So here's the FaceBook video, instead.

I do quite a few exercises that a lot of people have never heard of. I've written up explanations a few times, but really, a video tutorial makes much more sense. So I'm gradually remedying that.

If I reference a dance or fitness move that you don't understand, let me know, and I'll see about making a handy-dandy video to show you.
