0:19:31 > 0:19:35- You need strength to do this.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42- The moment has arrived - to get on with the lesson.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49- Step forward, swing, hook your legs - onto the pole and land on your feet.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Keep spinning around - until your legs naturally drop.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- One more question, - where's the crash mat?

0:21:29 > 0:21:35- From here, pull your body upwards - and move closer to the pole.
0:21:35 > 0:21:35- The other leg...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- The other leg...- - Argh!
