30 Day Invert: Day 10
Duration: 00:34:02
Today is your second invert class and you’ll be working on strengthening the lower body and finding your lower body placement for the invert on the pole. Don’t forget you can take notes right here on the website! These are private and you’ll find a list of your notes on your profile.
Mantra: Strive for progress not perfection
Tips: Let’s talk about why we sweep with the outside leg instead of the inside. It’s not going to hurt you if you lead with the inside leg, however it does put you at risk of smashing your toes on the pole and most of all, it doesn’t provide a secure grip into a crucifix or outside leg hang because you end up with the wrong leg reaching the pole first. I also want to remind you not to worry about the “straddle” chokeberry position, until you become stronger and the step and sweep method is automatic.
Question: Which day was more challenging for you? Yesterday’s upper body work or today?
Homework: Today I want you to write down what you think would happen if you were never able to invert? Then sit and think about if the story you’re telling yourself is true? No matter the conclusion, write down what makes this story true or not true.
