30 Day Invert: Day 2
Duration: 00:33:39
Today is a rest day but I have a podcast “Inverts don’t make these mistakes” for you to watch or listen to.
Pro tip: Did you know that even if you were to never invert from standing, you can still enjoy pole dance and reap the benefits? It’s true! So please don’t feel like you’re “less than” if the invert is not in your current pole vocabulary. It’s my hope that this podcast will help you understand the invert and put your mind at ease. Breathe, it’s ok, there are other ways to get upside down as we practiced yesterday. You’re not behind, or bad at pole, the invert is just another trick and through this program I’ll make it easier for you.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself! Here’s a guide to help you determine if your invert is solid or needs help.
Here is my tutorial for the Side Pole Hold and Invert Hold which you will become familiar with during this program.
Common Invert methods we will cover this in the days to come.
Here’s a video I mentioned explaining the difference between the Chopper and Invert.
The Ultimate Guide to Inverts Series is part of your curriculum here, you’ll be seeing more of this during your invert journey
As mentioned here’s my 20 invert resources guide
Proof that I’ve been using controlled momentum for my inverts [Minute 1:18 is where I Invert] for more than 16 years
Here’s how I taught myself to go upside down a Half Cartwheel [Min 2:00] and Half Handspring [Min 1:47]
Day 2 under my belt. I love the foot stretch!
Yay the forearm streches feel so great!
Wow, I found some muscles I haven’t even known existed. I have never pointed my foot this way. The big toe wants to have a life on its own and doesn’t want to tuck under like your pretty one does 😢 also, I think I feel it whole way up on the inner calf, and the lower part close to Achilles tendon too. And the bottom of the foot wants to cramp up. Hmmmm… Miss athlete-ex-skier-now-tennis-player wanna be a dancer… this is HARD 🙂 LOL am I doing something wrong, or is it just a matter of practice?
If you’re not use to pointing the foot you will feel it all the way up the leg! Nothing wrong, just learning new things 😊
The foot stretch is still my fave!
Day 2 done! Thank you Veena, you are amazing!
Done! The wrist stretching was much needed and a good reminder to do on the daily. Thank you!
