GWWhy do you keep falling out of your turns? It’s not random, there is more you can be doing to ensure clean turns every time. Let’s fix it. 🌪️
Here are 3 common reasons you’re losing your turns and exactly how to clean them up!
1. You’re not truly stacked over your standing leg.
If your weight is even slightly off, your center can’t hold.
Fix it: Before you turn, pause and check your alignment: hips over heel, ribs closed, core lifted. Think up before you think around.
2. Your core isn’t fully engaged.
Turns don’t come from momentum alone, they come from control.
Fix it: Engage your deep core before you push off. Imagine cinching a corset around your waist and lifting out of your supporting leg the entire time.
3. Your arms are disconnected or inconsistent.
Loose or delayed arms will throw off your rotation every time.
Fix it: Set your arms with intention and bring them in sharply to first. No floating. No hesitation. Your arms should arrive exactly when your turn begins.
Clean turns aren’t about forcing more rotations, they’re about mastering the details that keep you centered.
Save this, apply it, and watch your turns completely change.
