Rope Flow Friday - Rope Flow Mistakes (Tim’s Gym)

[CBDB]

I’ve started to do a bit of Rope Flow again, finding it the best way to do some gentle exercise when starting again with physical exercise after recovering from a flu-like illness, that had again sapped all my energies.

And as part of this, I came across this video, when reviewing areas I need to improve on.

It helped realise some of the errors I was doing myself. I also realised I need a bit of a more structured training plan for progressing with my Rope to Flow. Rope Flow Fridays do tick me over, hopefully to a time in which I’ll have a plan. One of my mini-plans for 2025 I crafted together with my co-rope-flower hubby. We suggested to ourselves that we would take a pair of different moves, learn each one and then teach it to the other, one flow at a time. We’ll see how that goes.

Happy flowing.

Morning, thank you for the video 😊 Very interesting. I love watching videos of Rope Flow and admiring the skill and fluidity. I stopped Rope Flow a few weeks before Christmas because, unfortunately, it aggravated the spondylitis in my neck, making the neck and shoulders sore and painful 😞 I tried hard to do the correct technique, as described in the video, but it is so hard when learning those first moves and so much repetition is needed (as with any new skill). I wish you all the best with it and will follow your progress 😀 and maybe I will give it another go sometime.

What a shame. Hopefully your neck/spondylites calms down. I also love seeing those fluid movements, which don’t look like mine or hubbies as we still find ourselves tangled up every few minutes. LOL

I’m just building slowly up again, not back to full strength yet, but getting there.

Yes, tangles and being hit by the rope - common for all Rope flow beginners 🤣 Sorry to hear you have been unwell 😞

It’s really fun, a gentle-on-the-body kind of fun. We did a beginners challenge earlier this year, which guided us through four of the basic movements. Here is the start to it:
