30 Day Invert: Day 16

Duration: 00:40:40

Today is your fourth invert class and you’ll be working on strengthening the whole body and work on having an exit plan. Be sure to read the full description and 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: There is no timeline for learning

Tips: The exit you choose to use depends on these factors:

• Level of experience – Once you’ve become comfortable with the Invert itself you can start to experiment with new ways to exit. However, as someone who is new to inverting I suggest sliding down the pole to exit. Sliding down also helps you improve your grip control!
• Level of strength – Choosing the right exit for your level of strength will reduce the risk of muscle strain that can occur when you flop down. As you grow stronger, options like handstands and push grip will become available to you.
• Choosing your next trick – You may need a solid Inverted Crucifix if you’d like to transition to a caterpillar, you might need a strong push grip if you’re going to exit out into a sit.

Question: Were you able to find an exit you felt comfortable with? Feel free to share any video links of your attempts in the comments.

Homework: In your journal write about any negative or fearful emotions you had during this class, if you had any. After that, finish by making a list of at least 3 things that you enjoyed or that made you happy during today’s class. Remember it’s okay if the thoughts that come are not pole related.
