Blairbob Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Feet start heels together in 1st position (dance) with feet turned out 45 degrees. From there step or hurdle into/through lunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlsso Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hahah, I feel like you're purposefully avoiding answering the question now.The picture is showing the lunge.1. Should the feet be touching the line during the lunge as well?2. If the answer is yes and picture A were corrected to reflect that, would it then be right?

Seiji Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well, unless you run straddle legged, then they would be closer to the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 If you were my gymnast and that lead leg does not step on the line, expect a short lecture, "Do it again-correctly" and defiance to such would probably turn in to you doing burpees. Everything is on the line, except the second hand at times when tumbling. For Balance Beam however, that is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternford Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Oh, I wasn't even thinking about that when I made my version of the diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seiji Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Are there any female gymnasts on this site? Come to think of it, I haven't heard of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 On a BB, you have 4 inches which is roughly the width of your foot. I heard it was the Russians that were credited with training all tumbling, always on a line to perfect. Who knows, but I prefer it always instead of not on a line or through the diagonal.

dlsso Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ok, I was just going off of when you said:"The left foot stays just on the side of the left part of the line as does the right. If we stand with your feet on either side of a line, that imaginary line will bisect you from crotch to the top of your head." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 So everything is on the line, but "on the line" does not mean centered in the case of the lunge. Yes, correct. The inside of the foot touches the line. Well the heel does as the front part of the foot is generally turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
