on 7/2/2009 gosh.. i must sound like a total cow... but after reading your bio i had such a high expectation... it's a good exercise, but u realise that a ron de jambe en l'air is only a half oval as you do not go extend backwards, due to over rotation which can lead to injuries in the knee right?? and that a better height is needed for your makeshift bar, because you hips r not correctly aligned which is making you lean over away from your leg giving you bad posture...
