Week 3
Hey! Thanks for 127 reads!
1. (3/5 difficulty)
- you need a wall for this stretch
- go into an almost handstand against the wall, facing it
- in other words, it's like a downward dog on the wall
- now, slide your upper body to the ground with an arched back
- it's a chest stand (picture above) against the wall
- your back is at a 90 degree angle
- you may want to lay your cheek on the ground instead of putting pressure on your neck and chin
2. (2/5 difficulty)
- you need a wall or barre
- basically, just kick your back leg that's bent towards your head
- try to catch it with your arm
- don't use your opposite arm, use the same side arm to catch your leg
- this helps your scorpion and other balances
3. (2/5 difficulty)
- you need a couch or a chair for this
- stand about 2 feet away from your couch
- lean back so that you are doing a bridge onto the couch
- now, try to bring your arms back up, using the strength of your lower back
- try not to push off if the couch with your arms
4. (2/5 difficulty)
- you need a person
- lie down on your stomach
- get that person to grab your leg, and keeping it straight, try to bring it towards your torso and head
- do this in your other leg too
5. (1/5 difficulty)
- go into the cobra position
- roll back your shoulders and lean back your head
- then bend your knees and try to touch your head with your feet
Thanks for the support!
