30 Day Caterpillar: Day 10
Duration: 00:57:35
Today after warming up with the Stands routine you’ll practice the Caterpillar! I do not expect you to achieve a full caterpillar today, do what you can.
Pro tip: Now is the perfect time to film your Caterpillar practice because watching it back is a helpful tool allowing you to understand what might be missing. It can also provide motivation to look back on, seeing how far you’ve come!
Allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.
Below is a list of direct links to each full length tutorial you worked on in today’s session. Remember you only need to click on these if you’d like more help or information.
well today was the day I been waiting for since I started the program. I work in a school and I had agreed to run a hula hoop game station for all the grades during field day. well when I finished work today I was totally exhausted from being outside in the sun today. I even told my coworker that I would probably wait till tomorrow to do my caterpillar program. well after I got home and rested a while and ate I decided I didn’t wanna get myself in a place where I’d feel bad about not following through on my commitment to do this program so I did it! well I am sad to say that I could not do the caterpillar. I got through the stands workout and by the time it was time for me to try I was just wiped out. felt like my strength was all gone. gave it about 3 tried and realized I have to go back to the reverse handstand to strengthen my body more. but I am not giving up! I can totally see the caterpillar and other fabulous moves in my future. thanks Veena for this program, it is helping me to learn more about my body and my limitations.
You still have tons of days left to work on the caterpillar!! By day ten if someone can caterpillar even without being tired from a long day, that would be impressive!! Keep at it💜
The day 10, all listed lessons seems to be very helpful to me. I have been stuck in the same place for a long, not to be able to do clean caterpillar and many other tricks. I will work on The Stand Routine constantly. Thanks!
I can get into a basic invert, but when it’s time for me to caterpillar, my arms just aren’t strong enough no matter how tight I squeeze my legs, does this mean I’m not squeezing enough? My whole body just feels so heavy that I can’t do anything with my arms.
I could mean you are not squeezing as much as you think, it could also be that you are not placing the hands right before you push up. This program will help you build the strength you need so keep at it!! If you would like to post a video so I can help trouble shoot please do.
I almost got it but need to practice squeezing with the legs more!
You’ve got this!
