Subject: Sit Spin
Question
I Can get low on my sit spins and I have enough rotations, but I cannot get it back up. Any hints about how to get my spin to come back up. I am getting tired of falling!
Answer
Hi Ronda:
Yes, that can be a problem. The key is in the strength of your quadriceps muscles (thigh muscles). One great exercise to increase quad strength is to stand with your back against a wall and slide down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Then slide back up. You can do this on one or two feet. Another version is to use a therapy ball behind your back.
Hope this helps,
Take care,
Bruce
