I just learned how to get myself into an invert last night and I practiced more this afternoon trying to get the crucifix but still am unable to, More practice! But tonight I just can't get myself to do it my shoulder blades are killer they feel really sore, is this normal or am I not doing something right and maybe pulled a muscal? 🤔 I want to keep practicing tonight but I'm sore and hurting! 😢

girl you need to rest! rome wasn´t built in a day! you need to give your muscle a chance to recuperate. take a nice warm bath or put ice on the sore bits or both. the pole will still be there in a couple of days! 🌸 frida 🌸

Great idea, haha a nice warm bath sounds nice. I think I'm just a little to determined right now. 😳 I think I better take a rest for a couple days!

I agree on a bit of rest! when you're fresh, you're not used to all that weirdy muscle exertion. Eventually you'll get to where that basic invert is absolutely nothing and you only get sore for the bad mamajamas. and I'm sure one day, we will be like veena and only be sore after we've had a child. 😉
"bad mamajamas" can you please explain this one for me? and I'm sure one day, we will be like veena and only be sore after we've had a child. 😉 amcut you are hilarious!lmfao!

You said your shoulder blades are really sore??? Dunno if they are sore from you doing this or not doing this, but one thing to make sure of when you're inverting - something that didn't get through my head until I really strained my back right between my shoulder blades - keep your shoulders back and down. Think of squeezing your shoulder blades together as you're pulling yourself up. I was ok doing inverts without doing this, but when I learned the chopper it really ended up hurting my back. I couldn't even invert without it hurting after that... But Veena showed me how to do it right in chat once and I've been fine since! But if your shoulder blades are sore because that's exactly what you're doing, then great! It's a good habit to get into from the start! 🥂
