Double Drop Knee by Paloma Galvão
Front Double Drop Knee
To do the Double Drop Knee I suggest you start on the Drop Knee position and try to bring your front leg parallel to your back leg
Putting both your ankles together, like this...
I also suggest you put your front leg almost 100% aligned to the line and put your back knee pointing down
This position gives you a bit more stability, focus your sight on a fixed spot, try to balance using your arms
And when you want to come back up, bring your back leg a bit more close to your butt, and bring your front leg to the drop knee position
get your balance, and do the transition, like this...
Do the same procedure as the Drop Knee to get up, bend your body over your front leg
and divide the ammount of strenght to get up between both legs
Side Double Drop Knee
My name is Paloma, I'm an athlete from GO Slack! and I'm going to show you how to do the Side Double Drop stretched
The basics of the Double Drop is the Drop Knee, and after the Drop Knee you will do the front Double Drop
You are in the Drop Knee, you will do the front Double Drop, with both knees together
Differently from most of the statics, your arms, of course they're going to help your balance, but most of your stability comes from your abs
I will put my back leg a bit farther, and put my butt between my legs, turning to the front
find a fixed spot in this new direction to look at, and when you are already fixed you are free to move your arms
to get back, stick your knees together again, do the Drop Knee once more, and it's over
The most difficult part to learn the double drop, for me, was to separate my legs
and also to learn that the balance comes from the abs, not the arms
because, a lot of people, trying to balance,with the arms, bend over too much and ends up falling to their back
the hint is to separate your legs, put your butt between them, balance with your abs, and use your arms as help
looking straight in your body direction with fixed sight will also help you balance, looking straight, not to the line
and I wanna send a kiss to all SlackGirls
I'm going to try it right now with the other site, for the ones who find the other way difficult, but the principles are the same
Start with a Drop Knee, got my knees together as in Front Double Drop,
Stretched my back leg,, my butt between my legs,
Stretched my back leg,, my butt between my legs,
