Push Me/Pull You

Push Me/Pull You involves holding the wrist of your partner, bending one knee and keeping the other leg. You have to trust your partner to keep a hold of you as you have to bend your knees and fall back, once you're on your back and your legs are in the air, you need to rock back so that your legs almost go over your head, this gives you enough momentum to then rock back forward onto your feet into a squatting position so your partner can fall backwards. You have to keep a right grip onto your partner when they fall back and bend forward to follow them as they rock back too keep the movement consistent and fluid. If it works successfully and flows, then you and your partner are almost moving in a rocking chair movement. Your whole back comes in contact with the floor when you rock backwards, it's a really interesting and effective way to move and come in contact with the floor. 

Me and Chloe worked together on this exercise and we managed to grasp it quite quickly and develop into a fluid movement. We trusted each other with the movements and were confident enough to let ourselves go, this really helped us develop a deeper understanding and get a grasp of the detail and the attention the exercise needed to be successful. This exercise definitely would've been harder if we didn't have the confidence to work with the floor and trust the flow of our bodies. I really enjoyed this exercise and found it quite fun to carry out once me and Chloe got the hang of it.
