Floor Gymnastics

We will continue adding to Weeks 1 and 2 by learning 4 ways to ROLL!

Being able to MOVE is such a blessing. This is a book I'm reading at the moment and it has some really interesting ideas and stories that I'll share with you over the next few weeks...

• Kneel on the floor and put your head down to your knees to form a TUCK SHAPE

• Hold your arms tight against your body

• Roll to the side until you are back to your start position!

• Lie on your back in a STRAIGHT SHAPE

• Roll onto your tummy, hands and feet off the ground

• Continue rolling from dish, to arch, to dish, to arch...

• Sit in a STRADDLE SHAPE

• Arms hold under your legs (near your knees) and keep your muscles tight

• Roll onto your elbow, shoulder, back, making sure you LOOK UP AT THE CEILING!

• Keep rolling up onto your other shoulder, then into your straddle, pointing your toes

• You should be facing the opposite way!

• Start on one knee in an upright STRADDLE shape

• Arms outstretched or hands on opposite shoulders

• Roll onto shoulder, onto your back, then opposite shoulder

• Roll up onto your opposite knee, opposite leg out
