Cathe (and others, of course),
In Pyramid Lower Body, during the floorwork, there is a move (I believe the very first set of floor work) that I had a question about. During the move, you are on your back with one heel on the step/stability ball and the other straight up in the air. You use the heel on the step to push you up and down for various reps. Is this move any less effective if you keep the foot in the air on the floor instead? I assume it is put in the air to ensure that the opposite foot (the heel on the step) gives 100% of the "lift" off the step?
I have a recovered knee injury and it seems a tiny bit more comfortable that way. I try very hard to keep as little pressure as possible in that foot on the floor. However, if it is less effective, I will find a way to work up to the "foot in air" method!
Thanks!
