  2. Repeat 8 times.
  3. They will then perform 14 pulses to the sides with the legs. Then, externally rotate the legs.
  4. Repeat the full sequence in turnout.
  5. Have the student return to parallel and perform a roll over, touching the floor with the toes.
  6. They will then flex the feet and roll through the spine to return.

  8. The student will flex the feet and roll through the spine to return.
