Third episode of the mini-series "Most common limitations" when learning to fly one of the 4 basic static position.
In this episode, I'm covering sit fly and the incapacity to fold and compress the lower body.

thanks man, I appreciate this upload. I have many hours of freeflying in the tunnel but due to my age and physique is keep struggling with some stuff, this was really helpfull...:)

Glad I could help! There’s no better way to save time in the tunnel than a really good warm up before and some homework! Age is just a number! An active lifestyle is going to save you time and money, especially in your free flying journey!

wonderful, I would have saved 1 hour (or more..) if I had known that before! This aspect of the tunnel is not sufficiently known and approached by the coaches, there is a huge potential for saving time for the students!
For my part, I often have difficulties with certain positions that require spreading my legs while maintaining this position of the pelvis: I have strength (a lot of sports), I have good flexibility (a lot of stretching) , but without gravity my flexibility is absolutely not the same: I have big muscles and the wind is not strong enough to press apart like gravity does, and I feel that I am missing certain muscles to compensate for that. I will try your exercises ;)

Haha ce que tu vis est absolument normal! Essayer de lever sa jambe tendu le plus haut possible couché sur le dos ou debout en tenant sur une seule jambe est un exercice completement different à cause de l'effet de "force opposé"! C'est dommage que trop de coach travail que sur les techniques de vol et aucunement le conditionnements physique des athlete!
