Hand Raise Fall


  • The exercise hand raise fall starts off with a group of people walking in a room making sure you have peripheral vision of everyone. 
  • Spontaneously some one with stop. Raise there hand and say "ME" loud enough for everyone in the class to hear. Then with there legs shoulder width apart with fall back. and the aim is for the rest of the group/class is to catch them safely. and then carry on
  • When you feel everybody feels they have got the hand of it they start adding in another "layer". This being, instead of saying me and falling, you are to point at someone else and say you, and they are to fall.
  • To make the exercise a bit more controversial you when falling you can fall in any direction you feel best, weather that be falling forward, backwards, left , right ...


My honest first impressions of hand raise fall was total uncertainly. Because i am self couscous about my weight and didn't trust that people would be able to catch me when i fell. i tried to avoid the first layer by not falling on demand however on the second layer i had to for it was a spontaneous picking of other people picking individuals to fall. When i fell i felt quite liberated and from then on trusted the class to catch me. i think it is a create trusting exercising because after participating you feel you can depend on the rest of the class.
