    Sad Jacked up my tricep trying to be sexy

    I'm feeling a little discouraged, and a *lot* stupid right now. Last night I searched "basic floor work tutorial" on youtube, looking to add maybe 1 new move to my very limited arsenal. I nailed "The Clock", but really, that thing is so simple anyone should be able to do it. I should have stopped there, but, feeling motivated, I went on...
    This vid popped up, calling itself "basic". She starts with "soft pedaling"... ok, great. Looks pretty, but who doesn't already do it? Then, in a freaking FLASH she flips her legs over her head and lands on her stomach.
    "BASIC". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyn-6GxM37c

    I attempt to do this, manage to get my toes touching the floor above my head, then nearly break my neck on the flipping over part. My husband, who has been half-watching me, hears my groans of displeasure and offers to "spot" me. I take him up on it. He's all, "you can do this, it's easy", and begins to coach me. "You have to push yourself over with your arms'," he says.
    So I try even harder this time, and hurt the fuck outta my right tricep in the process. I immediately remove all stripperish attire, get into my jammies, and retire to the couch in a huff to watch Dexter.
    This is the part where you lovelies remind me that it is not all about moves on stage, and then maybe suggest some easier ones to start with, anyway.
    Love y'all...

    I'm sorry that happened When I was trying to learn moves when I first started, I literally fell off the pole and onto my back in front of a half full club. But now I can climb and cling to the pole like it's nobody's business. It's going to be a lot of trial and error in the beginning but once you nail it, which you will, it's easy street from then on. Find what moves work and don't work for you. I think floor work is much harder than pole work; it requires so much more creativity since it's just you and your body.

    Thanks, ameena, that is precisely the kind of encouragement I was looking for. Gonna try again, tonight, but maybe not so much gymnastics.

    Teehee! Funny you should say that, since the whole time I kept saying "my arms/legs are too short!" I am 5'4", and aaalll torso. And flexible? Never have been. I need to find moves that are based more on strutting, swaying and grinding (my specialties) and less about flipping & stuff.

    Remember to turn your head when you're halfway through the move. Otherwise you will break your neck. So once your legs are over your head and on the floor and you're rolling over, twist your head. Hard to explain but maybe this tutorial will help you (by Aerial Amy)

    I tried this yesterday. Another way you can try is by using your hands as support on your lower back to guide your lower body up and over. Start very slow and go a little faster each time as you perfect it.
