Today, I dragged myself out of bed for skating lessons. I'm always so sleepy, but once I get there, all the sleepiness wears off like magic. Lianna was my skating teacher today, instead of her brother, Alvis. She taught me how to do 3-foot turn exercises today. I already knew how to do three-foot turns, but she taught me this technique, and extra strokes, making it an exercise. So I had to skate around the circle, and I would do a 3-foot turn, then I would switch feet, stroke, then point my foot. It's really annoying how I automatically point my foot downwards when I'm supposed to point facing upwards. I can do it fine against the wall, but when it comes to the actually exercise, I'm always hesitating. Another thing was straightening my back and keep my arms up high throughout the whole thing, which made them ache like crazy. Eventually, I got the proper position, and Lianna said that everything else was perfect, except for the way I point my foot...Sigh, after my lesson (15minutes) I had 45 minutes left on the rink to practice pointing and pointing to try to get the proper position.
What to do with an aching back and arms?
