Inter 1 Day 24
[lesson id=’qp6mWo1V’]
Day 24. Today you’ll be giving the full elbow stand a try! Watch the Elbow and forearm flip over video before warming up with The stands routine.
Elbow stand 5 tries, it’s ok if it doesn’t work out today, this is why we call it practice.
Up and over stretch Move slowly through this one 3 times
Shoulder clock stretch Move slowly through this 2 times on each side
Triceps massage as long as you like.
Whooohoo I can hold the elbow stand for a few seconds now!! A month ago I wasn’t even able to get into it 😂ðŸ‘🎉
YAY!!!!!!!
Man I have a really hard time with stands…I can’t even get my feet up above me
I also can’t practice long because the top of my head starts getting sore…any tips?? It looks almost easy but it’s soooooo not for me
How long have you been working on the elbow stand?
I can’t really quantify how long, but I’ve attempted a few times including your lessons involving the stands routine. I also had one pole class at a studio where we practiced them and I could only get it with a huge assist. So I mean…..probably can’t say I’ve practiced them a ton….but in the moments I have I don’t feel like much progress has been made, if any.
So, for most people things like stands will take a few weeks and months of consistent as in 3 time a week of practice. Without seeing you try them I can’t say for sure but you said your head gets sore. That tells me you props need to build more strength in the shoulders. Most of the weight should be there not on the head. The head does rest for sure, but not so much it would become sore if the shoulders are doing their job. If you’d like to share a video so I can help you troubleshoot feel free. You can post an external link here, or upload directly on your SV profile. Or send me a video here cert@studioveena.com
Probably* not props lol
Day 24 🥰
I can kinda do the elbow stand against the wall , not the forearm or the handstand, but I can use a feet up bench no problem, with a hop not quite a lift but getting there, I’ll show you in a video using the feet up and then wall or the other way round 😆 also I’ll do the butterfly stretch vid too xx
Commented on the video! 🙂
