corde lisse and the six degrees of freedom

[shadow]

Yeah, sounds right... I think

[shadow]

Wait....

I can see how all the other movements work within the context of FlowFit® (to a degree)....

however I can't wrap my head around "rolling".

If rolling is tilting side to side then how is a spinal rock then rolling? It seems more like pitching??

[Joseph David]

Well if FlowFit® works in all 6 degrees.... in this breakdown, what has happened to "pitching"??

Whoops my mistake
plank dog press- pitching
spinal rock - pitching


sorry about that guys

[shadow]

If that is the case.... then where does rolling fit into FlowFit®???

ahhh... is it the spinal twist?

ahhh... is it the spinal twist?

I would say the tilting action in the leg swoop

Are there other clearer examples of rolling that you could give?

I'm having trouble visualising how it works... the others I can largely get, but that one is eluding me.

I'm thinking it's like the side spinal bends from beginner level Intu-Flow®?

This thread has completely opened me up to investigating the way these degrees work on the body and I want to keep following this to 'grok' it.

[Joseph David]

Yes, a lateral shoulder roll, twisting spinal arch

I'm thinking it's like the side spinal bends from beginner level Intu-Flow®?

Yes the lateral bendinging action as it moves around the centerline of the body.

It seems like it might be the most challenging degree to add strength type training to?

Would I be correct in assuming that I would be compensating for this missing action in my current 4x7 by using the kinetic chain from tumbleweed (childs pose -> plough -> rear long arm roll -> childs pose)?

As well as, of course, the side bends from Ageless Mobility®.

[Joseph David]

There are two basic ways to access this movement. From plough, the shoulders are the fulcrum and the pelvis leads, or the pelvis is the fulcrum and the shoulders lead. Then those combine
into the lateral shoulder roll.

can someone smarter than me break down all of the actions of flow fit again based on this additional information.
