Proper body stance

Step up onto the Key Log on either side of the center line. Stand in the middle of the traction surface area. Place your feet in a comfortable athletic stance. Position your body perpendicular to the Key Log. Turn your head toward the center of the Key Log, looking at the opposite end of the log. Bend your knees slightly. Place your outside arm in front of you and your inside arm behind you. This will help with balance while rolling. Practice taking the stance over and over so that its second nature. It may be helpful to practice the proper body stance on land before stepping onto the log.
