You have all the right parts in the right places. See if walking the hands up higher before the sit up gives you more room. And watch the timing of the knee slide. Veronica get her hands even on each pole, which is pretty high over the legs for the free arm and her knee hook doesn’t slide while she grabs with the wrapped arm.…Read more

And yeah, that weight of the tail below is a sneaky element. A double belly wrap might do the trick…. Usually a good Suzanne Somers inspired thigh squeeze could do the trick but the choreo doesn’t quite work for that option.
Glad you go a good run in!

I’m also very confused before the wheeldown, which I’ve never learned or practiced. It feels impossible to keep my torso horizontal, and maybe I’m gripping the tail too tightly and can’t rotate downward.

Rachel may have some more details for this particular combo. As a general ‘rule’, you want the knee to move in alignment between the ankle and the hip. So your leg wants to move as a unit with muscles supporting the joints from the hip through the knee and down to the ankle.
