So excited!
I know this is super cheesy but I had to share. I finally got myself into an invert! I’ve been trying and trying and could only get my toe to the pole now once I got my legs wrapped around I can’t figure out what to do haha so I just slide back down with my legs wrapped around.. I need to watch some videos. I also got the pole sit with no hands! I am so excited and proud of myself! It just shows that my upper body and core is getting stronger and it’s got me all happy! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Thanks for reading oh and any advice would be appreciated. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

YAY!!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Congrats and welcome to the upside down club!! In no time you will be flying all over the place. Great job on the pole sit! It’s amazing how something so "simple" is so freakin hard…and painful! Keep it up! As far as tips about what to do once you invert…just keep practicing the invert it’s self and then sliding down…as you get more comfortable you can move to doing a handstand and then working on the inverted crucifix..the list is endless! Just remember shoulders back and down…and lift from your core…no jumping! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thank you! I’ll have to remember that. Cause once I get up there I think okay now what?! haha I will just keep practicing it and work up the courage to try something with it besides sliding down haha. When I first started I tryed doing the invert and I was jumping but now I am actually using my core so it goes to show I am building more strenghth and I don’t feel the need to jump. =)

Alright, way to go. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I’m glad to hear your not jumping https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif into the move!! Inverting is a fun thing, I second what Roxy said, keep you shoulders engaged! The more control you have over your invert the less likely you are to be injured. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

After reading about what she had said to keep my shoulders engaged, I went upstairs and practiced that and making sure my shoulders were back and it seemed to work out a little smoother and I found it easier to move my arms without feeling awkward! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif
