At DD's gym they have started an exercise during warm-ups where one girl walks on her toes across the floor (not releve, but on the toe knuckles) holding the shoulders of another girl that walks in front of her. They usually do two passes.
Is this a widely used exercise? Are there any short or long term medical downsides (I've been reading lots of threads on back issues from back walkovers and wrist injury)?
My DD is a pretty young level 3, but all the girls in the gym do it about once or twice a week. Should I be worried? I explicitly do not get involved with the coaching but something about this is rubbing me the wrong way.
