I think the answer is just to pay close attention anyway. It'll be easier for you in the long run to learn to strop correctly from the off. As Robin say's, muscle memory is built up & then in no time it becomes second nature. Just take care & go for it. It's something we've all had to learn & while you may experience a few teething troubles, you'll overcome them.
Sorry, I misposted. I do lead with the spine.

I think I take your advice and just keep doing it the "shown" way.
