And the suggestion to try it a few times without turning the machine on is a good one. The more you do it, the more your muscles remember the movements and the more automatic it becomes.
AndiR has great advice! Also look ahead of where you're going and not that where you're at. Kinda like driving a car! You'll get better as you do more.
