Momentum. Eventually the idea is to swing up and back into seated. But for now, this is what we learn. I'm just glad my grip doesn't give out as I drop down. I bought a pull up bar for the house, going to work on shoulder lock outs and negative pull ups/lowering down. No progress tonight with inverted straddle. boo.
Then a final class sequence that the teacher put together for us. I only had one chance to run through this. I really need to point my toes. Plus smooth out a new move, the climb back up into inside mermaid from foldover. Oy. And you can see my ridiculous attempt at straddle dismount.
I watched the other students, how easily they can do inverted straddle, how much prettier they look in these poses, how much thinner they are than I am. I didn't let myself get completely discouraged. But I couldn't help but notice.
