10/25/2023 1 Comment Week Five: New Skills!!!!Alyssa- We did meet up on Tuesday as promised. Lila looked at my first attempts at skills that she had taught me the last time we met up. The turns in second are really kicking my but because my hip strength and flexibility is not quite there. Lila taught me some good hip strengthening exercises to work on until the next time we meet to hopefully ease some of the pain. The calypso was looking really good. Lila just told me to work on straightening my front knee for a good picture. She had me try it many times and she told me my shanayes are looking really good. So for this week since we are not meeting up I am going to work on the hip exercises for better strength along with trying to connect the calypso with a straight knee for a good picture! Watch the videos for more of our learning!
Lila- So Alyssa and I met up this week and it was very exciting, I got my first skill!!!! I finally got the back walkover and was able to do it a couple times too. I mean it’s definitely far from pretty or perfect but I will take it. The aerial is a whole different rodeo though. It’s rough and that’s being extremely nice. Alyssa taught me some drills to fix the issues (there are a lot of them) and hopefully that will help a lot before we meet again. I need a whole whole lot of help on it though. I really thought the back walkover would be the harder skill for me but it's definitely the aerial. Since I got my back walkover though I know I can start working on my reach skill. I am genuinely petrified. A back handspring sounds like a great way for me to land on my head but I trust Alyssa so I am willing to try. I hope it goes well and I don’t kill myself, but that is an issue for the next time we meet.

It's awesome that you two are teaching other different skills. I really like this project.
