I had a rap lyric in my head where this guy says, in a very specific way, "Burning the candle at both ends..." I know that's a very common phrase, but while I was doing this lesson, I started hearing that rap cadence but thinking "Doing the flexion at both ends." Of course, this isn't about the overdrive implied by "burning the candle at both ends," but it IS about doing the flexion at both ends.

This is based on AY12, which is called "Sitting with straight legs." That title is fine, it describes the some of the starting positions in the lesson well enough. But "doing the flexion at both ends" gets closer to the functional gold in this lesson.

Also worth noting, I think I'm gonna go through the lessons on reel 2 in order, so this lesson does follow the previous lesson in the original Alexander Yanai sequence.
