Week 4
1. (3/5 difficulty)
- go into your good split, if you can sit in it comfortably
- now, lift the KNEE of the front leg
- this is more than 180 degrees (pic above)
2. (1/5 difficulty)
- kick your leg to 90 degrees and hold it
- if you can go higher, hold it there
- this strengthens your legs
- hopefully, by the end, you can be able to kick your leg up to your head and hold it there
- do it on the other leg, too
3. (2/5 difficulty)
- you need a person
- "give" the person your good leg
- the person should bring your leg up as far as you can
- try to get your head to beside your head
- you may want to do this against the wall so you don't fall over
- do it on the other leg
4. (3/5 difficulty)
- go into your split
- put your hands on your head
- now, without using your hands, try to raise your torso up using your inner thigh muscles
5. (3/5 difficulty)
- face a wall standing up
- do a handstand against it
- get someone to hold your bad leg, in my case my left leg, to the wall
- bring down your good leg and feel the air split stretch
- make sure your person tries to keep your bad leg against the wall the whole time
