floor work
So the fish flop floor move is it difficult to master? I can’t seem to get it is it just me?? Or is it sort of hard for everyone else too? Just curious=)

I’m currently working on it, too. It makes be nervous because I know I’m supposed to be rolling over my neck. Also, coordinating your legs so that it looks good and not just like an awkward backwards roll can be tricky. Working on it a bit on carpet has really helped decrease my anxiety (I guess because of the extra padding) so I think it’s starting to come together. Good luck!

Revvielou, you don’t really roll over your neck in this move. there is a way to make a space so that you roll over your shoulder and your head moves out to the side. look at veena’s shoulder roll lesson or aerial amy’s tutorial.

I’m sorry, but what is the fish flop roll? 😀

Phoenix Hunter, I apologize. I misspoke. I’ve watched both tutorials several times. They’re my two favorites, actually. I meant to say ‘supposed to be rolling over my shoulder, not my neck.’ I was typing and revising too fast. I just get nervous about making sure my head is turned properly so my shoulder takes the weight. Practice is taking care of that, though. Sorry about the confusion.

Oh! I see what you mean. I feel the same way. I have a bad neck and I’m terrified of rolling over it when I do these. I just can’t get these the way I see them in tutorials. Mine just look sloppy

The fish flop is different then the shoulder roll, the shoulder roll is what is best to start with as the fish flop takes more control. I show you how to avoid rolling on the neck by using proper head placement. ðŸ˜Å

I’m struggling with this too. But I’m afraid to hurt my chest so I always land on my feet instead of pulling my legs back. If I have someone pulling my legs I can do it. Well I guess I just have to do it 100 times like this until I can switch off my head.
