Oblique
Flight
Where is “floblique”? Well, it doesn’t exactly exist! The two positions pictured here are oblique and flight. In oblique the arms make a V of 60 degrees, with palms up. In flight, the arms make a V of 120 degrees and palms are down. We sometimes see girls with their arms making a V of 90 degrees, which is half way between flight and oblique – so we call it “floblique” just for fun. But if you are serious about getting your arms in the right position, try pracitising in front of a mirror. Stretch upwards with your arms for oblique and stretch out to the walls for flight.
