Inter 1 Day 6
Day 6. Today you’ll work on a few more grips and begin training elbow and handstands. Don’t stress if you can’t do either stand right away, it’s not expected. It’s just practice. The Lower body conditioning routine is your warm up for today. Give each grip at least 3 tries on both sides but no more than 10.
Reverse elbow and handstand 2-6 times, remember it’s just practice!
Standing pike stretch Use active stretching 3-6 rounds
Over under stretch Hold for 10-30 seconds
Is it normal for my wrists to be a little sore after doing handstands?
Yes! They will get stronger. For now make sure to stretch if they do. Sore is fine, stabbing, sharp or sudden pain isn’t.
Wow! I was really impressed that I can do the reverse elbow and handstand after so many months. So excited!
Woot!! Love the profile pic too!
Day 6 done 👍
Still coming to terms with elbow grip 😔 I feel my arms are to short , I am literally hugging the pole , but on the bright side I did reverse elbow grip and the handstand but that was from invert , but I definitely feel stronger 💪 xx thank you xx
I almost never use elbow grip for anything. Just like cross knee an cross ankle release are interchangeable. Elbow grip and forearm grip and sometimes a split grip variation can be used instead. Some people love elbow grip, I don’t lol.
I must admit I’m not a great lover of it but I’ll practice xx I’ve always wanted to do elbow grip Ayesha 😁 maybe one day 😜 xx ❤️
Man, it’s been ages since I got upside down. Managed to get my legs up on the pole for reverse handstand but decided not to walk my hands in–getting used to that sensation again. I’m starting over entirely with elbow stands because I have to be really careful with my neck, and get some more shoulder strength back. To think I used to be able to do scorpion pose, at the wall anyway! I never really learned to properly do these without using the wall as a crutch, but it’s never too late to start over.
Nothing wrong with taking it slow 💜
