Partner-resist: transverse plane with rope

Wonderfully pumpy and functional, this is classic Exuberant Animal. Start slow until you get the hang of it. The primary idea is to slow your partner down with smooth resistance. Think of it as a "cooperative contest." Once you get the idea, the movement is fun and satisfying. Be sure to use your hips and core: get your hips and butt talking to your shoulders.
