I stink at rolldowns unless i do the following things: 1) i wear 5 lb leg weights. 2) point my toes. 3) keep my arms straight slightly above my sides with shoulders rounded & shoulder blades pulled apart. 4) start the rolling up with my face pointed at the ceiling. Occasionally, I will also hold small hands weights. Otherwise i don't get up or I need to use momentum. I like the towel idea, but it does not work for me. I love Kristi's Classes. In this class I particularly liked The Saw ~ upper back stretch and The Mermaid twist to the side stretch. I had fun, got a good workout, and feel much better. Thanks again Kristi:)
I've loved your tip in the rocker exercise (pulling in/out the femur). It's nice to appreciate the difference in stability, balance at the end of the class. Thank you!
