Straight Leg DeadLift Out of Rhythm | Forums

[Kaekiri]

Can someone help me out here?

I cannot figure out how to do a Straight Leg Deadlift. Generally, I will start in rhythm, but as I come up from the lift, the trainer says I'm OUT of rhythm. As near as I can figure, its because I stand up too straight or something. The instructor is standing up straight at the end of the exercise, and I cannot figure out why the game penalizes me for this. Then, despite continuing IN rhythm with the down motion, the game will not recognize I'm back in rhythm. The only way I can trick the game I'm back in rhythm is to lean over a little, but I'm sure this is poor posture and NOT the way the exercise is supposed to be performed.

The exercise has a little light button for "Back Up and Down". The light is on when I'm going down, and fades out when I come up with poor posture... but at least I stay in rhythm. I'm really frustrated with this. If I do the exercise what appears to be 'properly' I'm considered out of rhythm when I stand tall at the end... but if I slouch and use proper posture I can kind of trick the kinect into thinking I'm still in rhythm?

Anybody have any suggestions? This will be the 21st set I've gone through without being able to figure it out on my own. (Women's Health Better Buns Workout)

I've had trouble with this one as well. The first thing that helped me was: don't listen if the trainer says you need a narrower stance. The second was to hold my weight out in front of my body a little more while standing and bending. And the third was not straighten up completely between reps. The trainer looks pretty straight when she comes up but it's not a completely erect posture.

This may or may not help, but for me I found if I stay about half a second ahead of the trainer, it would think I'm in rhythm. So, when the trainer is just reaching the top, I've already begun my descent. I get usually 100% now where I used to get 0-50%.
