Intermediate Level 1: Day 9
Duration: 00:37:59
Today you’ll practice the full reverse handstand which is fundamental and important to be comfortable with if you’d like to learn inverted tricks. Before moving on to Intermediate level 2, you should be very comfortable with the reverse handstand.
Pro tip: The leg position in reverse handstand is the same as crucifix and climbs, so if you’re feeling unsure as to why things feel odd upside down, try doing a few crucifix upright, then take it to a reverse handstand and see if you can match up the P.O.C’s.

the ticktock leg routine is very funny! Which is the music?
Are you asking what is the music?
Yes, my English is not very good, I’m sorry 🙁
It’s ok. It’s music I bought off a website for business
Ok thank you! I like it very much!
hoooooly crap you weren’t kidding about the thigh dismount. I never thought I would want my thighs to have less grip!
Haha, it’s like….”where’s all my skin? Oh on the pole!”
You were right 🥲 it’s a lot of arm pit… thanks for the tips!

this workout took longer than I expected because the ticktock leg routine was so hard to keep up with the pace and it hurt so I had to take a lot of breaks 🤪
elbow stands gave me tile burns, however, practicing these helped me realized that I need to move forward b4 i do my plank dismount
I really tried the figurehead from the performance climb but that was too difficult to do, I find it much easier to do it from a side climb
v-sit hurt my hip a little when lifting legs
still a great workout
Oh yeah…if I recall correctly the tick tock leg routine was one of the suggestions I had given you to work on. It’s a challenge for sure. You’re just getting back into it again so it’s even more difficult.
I remember getting elbow burns too 😐
I bet there’s a small change needed in your performance climb to make it easier for you. Feel free to send a video and I can help.
I didn’t record the performance climb into figurehead 🙁
Day 9 done
Loved the tiktok legs warm up
Reverse elbow and handstand I managed 1 of each from the floor yay 😊 but better from invert
Plank 2 hands love it plank dismount hmm ouchie 🤕
Figurehead yes 😁
Thank you 😊🙏
Oh an I’ve got a carpet burn on one of my elbows , I can only think it was when I was doing elbow stand or plank dismount 🤕😂😂🤣♥️
ouch! I remember ending up with terrible carpet burn on my elbows once! It can help to put a yoga mat down or wear long sleeves.
I have a laminated floor an I had a yoga mat down lol 😆😆 but hay it proves I did something 🤣🤣😂🤣♥️♥️
Ah ok.
Hi Veena! Can you possibly please explain how to do the “v out” part of the tick tock routine? It isn’t explained in the tick tock legs video and I struggle with it every time I have to do the tick tock leg routine.
Sorry about that, I forgot to but the tutorial in for Straddle open/V out. Here it is, and I’ll be adding it inot the related videos and links https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/straddle-open-1577/
Thank you for mention it!
Ok straddle open has now been added to the Ticktock routine!
Thank you so much!
This was a fun and slightly painful day lol 😝
I feel a lot more stable in my reverse handstand!! But the front of my ankles and the top of my feet were screamin after a few tries. I’m guessing that part is normal when first starting out? No wonder you tell us to limit reps!
The plank dismount was not as successful. My thigh skin did not have any slide at all and I just kinda got stuck 🤦♀️ but loved the variety of tricks today!!
Yay for feeling state more stable in reverse handstand!! 🎉 Yep that’s why I limit the reps cause I know for myself I just keep going until I can’t go anymore and then I pay for it the next day. 🤕 Sliding down the pole in plank definitely takes practice, especially when you’re nice and grippy
I do the same! I want to keep going until I feel more confident in the pose, but totally burn myself out. I’ve learned from that after some crazy bruises lol
