CUES 口令
Starting positions: Forward Lunge: one foot on pedal, other foot on chair pad, hands on handle. Backward Stepdown: feet lightly on front edge of chair, one leg bent, one straight. Breathing: Forward Lunge: exhale shift weight forward, slowly straighten front leg until back foot lifts off pedal, inhale control return. Backward Stepdown: exhale press pedal down. Imagery: Body like a vertical elevator.
【起始位】Forward Lunge：一脚踏在踏板上，另一脚踩在万能椅垫上，手扶把杆；Backward Stepdown：双脚轻扶住椅子前缘，一腿弯曲一腿伸直。 【呼吸】Forward Lunge：吐气时重心往前移，慢慢伸直前腿直到后腿离开踏板，吸气有控制地回到起始位；Backward Stepdown：吐气时下压踏板。 【想象】身体像垂直运行的升降机。
IMAGERY 意象
【Direct】Exhale to shift center forward, slowly extending the front leg until the back foot leaves the pedal; maintain a vertical trunk and ensure the knee aligns with the second toe. Keep the pelvis and spine neutral, recruiting deep abdominals for support, and allow the pedal to return upward with control. 【Indirect】The Marriage Proposal: Imagine you are performing a solemn marriage proposal; this imagery instantly helps find vertical alignment and inner dignity. Cork Floating: The pedal is like a cork rising steadily from underwater; use your core to 'hold down' the upward surge. Helium Balloon Traction: Imagine a large helium balloon attached to your crown, lifting your spine and significantly lightening the load on your lower limbs. 【Space】Diagonal Escalator: In Forward Lunge, imagine you are standing on a diagonal upward escalator, moving smoothly and steadily along that inclined plane. Expanding into Vast Space: While pressing the pedal, imagine the body entering a more spacious dimension, using distal extension to create room within the joints. Reaching for the Distant Wall (Bowing): In the bowing variation, imagine your fingers reaching for a far wall to maximize spinal lengthening. 【Feeling】Thick Syrup Damping (Kinesthetic): In Backward Stepdown, imagine moving through thick syrup, requiring a deep, uniform, and sustained force to 'slice' through resistance. Cloud-like Floating (Proprioception): Feel the lightness of the body as if the spring assistance is gently lifting you, making the movement feel effortless. Memory Foam Impression (Tactile): In the bowing variation, imagine the spine leaving precise, sequential impressions on memory foam to achieve fine segmental control.
【直接】呼气时中心移向前方，缓慢伸展前腿直到后脚离开踏板，保持躯干垂直并确保膝盖对准第二脚趾。维持骨盆与脊柱中立，募集深层腹肌提供核心支撑，并有控制地允许踏板向上回弹。【间接】神圣的求婚：想象你正在进行一场庄重的求婚，这个意象能瞬间帮你找回躯干的垂直排列与内在的尊严感。软木塞漂浮：踏板如同从水底平稳浮起的软木塞，用核心去‘按住’那股向上的冲力。氦气球牵引：想象头顶悬挂着一个巨大的氦气球，它正带着你的脊柱向上飘，大幅减轻下肢的沉重感。【空间】斜行自动扶梯：在前箭步中，想象你正站在一部斜向上行的自动扶梯上，身体随之平稳、顺滑地向斜上方平移。扩张进入大空间：在下压踏板时，想象身体正试图进入一个更宽敞的维度，通过肢体的末端延伸来增加关节间的缝隙。触碰远方的墙壁（Bowing）：在俯身变体中，想象你的手指正努力够向前方远处的墙壁，以最大化脊柱的延展性。【感觉】厚糖浆的阻尼（动觉）：在后向降步下压时，想象你置身于浓稠的糖浆中，需要用深沉、均匀且持续的力量去‘划开’阻力。云端的悬浮感（本体觉）：感受身体的轻盈，仿佛弹簧的辅助力正温柔地把你向上托起，让动作显得毫不费力。记忆海绵的刻痕（触觉）：在俯身变体中，想象脊柱像在记忆海绵上逐节留下精准的压痕，实现细腻的脊柱分节控制。
TACTILE CUES 触觉提示
Instructor holds client's pelvis to prevent tilt or rotation; lightly touch stance knee to guide tracking over second toe.
导师手扶练习者骨盆确保不发生倾斜或旋转；轻触支撑腿膝盖引导对准第二脚趾。
PROGRESSION 进阶
P- release handle; P- increase repetitions; P- stand on rotating disc.
P-不用手扶把杆；P-增加推压次数；P-站在旋转盘上。
REGRESSION 退阶
R- place small box under pedal to reduce range; R- hold handle for support; R- keep back foot on pedal.
R-在踏板下放小盒子减少范围；R-手扶把杆支撑；R-后脚保持在踏板上。
COMMON ERRORS 常见错误
