M2M Day 99: I went to my second lesson today, and my backflip definitely got worse
This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For February, my goal is to land a backflip.
Today, I woke up, and my body was no longer sore from last Friday’s lesson, so I was optimistic about today’s trip to AcroSport.
However, today’s lesson didn’t go exactly how I was hoping it would: From my first flip to my last flip, I had a crazy bias to my right.
In other words, every time I threw a backflip, I landed about two feet to the right of where I started. This is not good.
If anything, even though they were bad backflips, they were still backflips, so I did get a good workout, which counts for something.
On Friday, the gym will be much less crowded, so I’ll be able to redo the drills from Lesson 1 and reintroduce the correct muscle memory.
Today, the gym was packed and much of the equipment was unavailable, so I spent the entire time in the foam pit (rather than working through a progression).
I’m excited to get back to AcroSports on Friday and redeem myself.
