icepixie: ([Movies] Toepick!)
I did not realize you could put yourself in traction "in the privacy of your own home"! I hope it includes directions on how not to hang yourself accidentally.

Today at practice I managed to do mohawks from (slow, very slow) stroking and forward crossovers, and finished them off with back crossovers. Now they are actually turns as part of a larger series of steps rather than just a thing I do in isolation. Woo-hoo! Outside three turns, alas, did not go so well when trying to do them as part of a step sequence. Maybe I'll work up to them with some two-foot turns out of crossovers first.

Distinguishing right from left on the alternating back crossovers is going better as well. Yay.

I very tentatively picked up one foot at the end of a two-foot spin, and...it felt good? The spin was easier to come out of, actually, which I suppose in retrospect isn't surprising. I'm still nowhere near brave enough to to pick up that foot near the beginning of the spin, though. Not that there's much difference between the beginning and the end of said spins, because I'm still only getting 2-3 revolutions. Bah. (I'm sure part of it is because I keep semi-involuntarily trying to stabilize myself in ways that slow me down, such as spreading my feet or bringing my arms in too soon. If I just went for it, I could probably get more revolutions. But. TERROR.)
