Kicking (the early days)
Monday, 10 July 2006
So if you saw the more recent kicking clip, you'll see that I was sat up in it, whereas I'm more horizontal here. There was less connection back then and lying down was the only way I could get a more controlled kick without just swinging the legs. And the ankle weights just made it that bit harder.
When he says, kick the right then the left, the difference is hardly perceptible, as at that stage I still had no ability to go to one leg without the other joining in. There was chaos in the way messages went up and down. But he was always introducing me to doing things even though I was not necessarily able to do them. Change has come on very subtly and gradually. And I could always do a little bit more at the end of a session than I could at the outset.
This one was also a killer on the stomach muscles.
