30 Day Invert: Day 1
Duration: 00:54:55
Today you’ll work on some alternative ways to get upside down. These will not only help you build the neurological pathways that will teach your body it’s safe to be upside down, they’re great for building strength too.
Pro tip: I can’t stress enough how important it is to only train inverts once you’re ready. Working on inverts before your body is prepared or without understanding the skills needed greatly increases your risk of injury and frustration. Learning to invert shouldn’t mean you’ll be covered in bruises and suffering from back and rib pain.
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.
Wuhu done 🙂 Is it ok to do the spins on spinning mode?
Static is best, but spin is fine. 😊
Hey Veena, what if my pole is only tall enough for me to climb once? Should I just hook my foot and climb, lower, climb?
Watch the pole climb video and you’ll
See how to double climb on a short pole 😊
Yay day 1 done!
I think I’m finally gonna have the chance to start this program today! Stoked!
Is this only 15 days?
No they’re not all uploaded. 😊
Great set up for the program Veena! Love your specific exercises for inverting and moves to build strength! So awesome!
Thank you 💜
Doing everything on the opposite side was tough, especially the climbs. I’m excited to progress with my invert. I posted a small clip on instagram. For some reason, I can’t upload from my phone to the site.
Tag me in IG!
I did!! 💜💜
Day 1 done! So excited to make this my January workout!
Yay I hope you like it!
Feels good to have a shiny renewed subscription! This is what I’m starting with, since I sort of already half-wrote an invert re-training overhaul. 😀
💫💫
I keep starting this over and over but I am determined, I don’t care how long it takes. I want to invert! Anyone have any suggestions for staying motivated?
Find a buddy to keep you going. Even if it’s onlineasier, you could also try keeping a blog here or sharing a proud moment each session here or on IG. If you share taget me cuz I wanna see 💜
Day 1 done. From the thread, I tried this 7 mos ago. Lol. Hoping to complete this time around
Back on the pole after a bit of a break, feeling super weak but LOVE being back! 😀 x
Welcome back!!
Today’s my first day with the group and I’m going to start here!! Can’t wait to get to know everyone 🙂 Wish me luck!
Welcome!
Thank you! You just saved me a concussion with the tips for low ceiling pole climbs – lol!
I mean, this was not as easy as I thought! I already can invert, but I need to work on pushing the hips UP in that last moment of inversion. So I hope this will help! …Phew, you got me sweating!
Looking for some renewed motivation, so I’m starting the program today! My goals are to invert on the opposite side and just to feel stronger and more secure in my invert. Here goes!
Yes, opposite side this is a great way to work on that! Good luck.
New subscriber at beginner level (completed a level 1 class), I’m so glad to have found your amazing website! I love the detailed tutorials and the exercises! My goal is to be able to invert this fall, however I only have access to a pole once a week due to family, work etc. and I have to travel like an hour back and forth for it. Some exercises probably can be done at home. Any advice how to plan practice in between pole sessions?
Yes, as you mentioned, do your best to find alternative options if you don’t have access to a pole. You can even go to a playground for most of it! Also, if you take a look at what muscle groups are used in a pole exercise you can swap that out for a body weight exercise (found in the exercise section) using the same muscles.
Day one done! I have a pole goal to move up to intermediate pole class in a couple of months, and I think this program is just what I need. Thanks =)
Day one done. I figured get this into the workout im already doing.
Day one done 🙂 Thank you!
And done! Great workout, thanks!
Started this today and I’m so excited to see improvement. I was able to learn the knee hold (!!!) using the video you posted on instagram and immediately flew to your site. Thank you!
Awesome! Looking forward to hearing or seeing your progress!
