Extension in front

[rlyons]

I am not too bad at extending out to the side and pretty good from the back...but from the front..pretty awful! Why is this? Is it normal for it to be the hardest?

Any tips on how to improve? Thanks!

That is relatively normal. Front extensions, maintaining alignment and rotation, are quite difficult for most people. Just keep working. It takes a long time.

Thanks Victoria,

Glad to know that I am not unusual then.

Zena Rommett’s obit reminded me of the best exercise system for things like this—floor barre, floor barre, floor barre.
