Today you'll be practicing laybacks again but this time from up on the pole. Remember you don't have to climb high, just far enough that you can layback without the floor being in the way. If you do not have a ball it's ok click here to learn how to choose a different warm up.
Pro tip: It's not cheating to use grip aid or sticky leggings. All sports have items or products that enhance the safety of their activity. Using sticky leggings or grip products to increase or improve your tackiness or to reduce sweat should never be thought of as cheating. It's simply about creating an optimal situation for the most grip possible. Your grip is top priority. It's more important than looking good or like everyone else, or flexing that you can go without. No one should tell you what's right or wrong when it comes to creating optimal grip to accommodate your climate, skin and pole finish.
When you're new to training CAR or CKR it's important to drill yourself to tuck the chin to the chest anytime you're feeling unstable while upside down.

Day 25 Loved the ball core workout ? An I'm super happy I did CAR an a quick CKR sooo happy ??? I didn't quite do 5 of each but with the attempts I counted them ??? ?
That’s great ?
I did a CKR!!! That was so exciting! Will definitely be ordering a crash pad ASAP. Do you have any you recommend?
Yay, that’s exciting!!!! I must admit I have never owned a pole crash mat. I use couch cushions and I also have 2 tumble mats I bought off Amazon. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend my money on a pole crash mat. ?
Tumble mats are a great idea! I've been looking at pole mats and they are ridiculously expensive ?
Yes, and if you wanted, you could even put Velcro on each mat that way the two will stick together around the pole.
