    Day 16! ☔️ #svaprilabs – V invert. https://instagram.com/p/1gCbtvJAZI/

    Here’s the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc828d1-78d8-419f-b83b-1c610ac37250
    If you’re unable to perform a V invert, begin working on it from OFF the pole first as shown in the second clip. Use whichever option fits your level. Please avoid saying that you have “failed” when posting a variation…I’m sharing these to inspire and show that foundational moves are important and why proper grips and control is helpful if wanting to improve. It’s what the Veena Method is all about 💜 there is no FAIL, just different variations! You only fail if you don’t try at all!
    If using these to build strength perform 1-3 sets of 2-12 reps BOTH sides

    Oh I totally feel like a robot when doing the torso twist!!!!!!! I tried to find a robot emoji but couldn’t! This was the closest I could find 👾 but didn’t know if anyone would get it! 😉

    Day 15: torso twist. The variations were fun in that I never do them. Going to have to add them in.

    Veena, you have pushed at the right button about the failure:-)

    Here are my days 13 + 15 and the preparation about the V Invert on the floor Day 16.
    I got a bit confused with the torso twists:-)

    Day 16- V invert. I think it will take some time before my legs stay straight too. Oh well, I did it. Something I might have thought was impossible in the not too far past 🙂

    Day 17! ☔️ #svaprilabs – Hold Spin (on Static)! https://instagram.com/p/1iokeMpAaw/

    Here’s the lesson showing BOTH static and spinning pole https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fe0ab18-19fc-4bd0-8983-03e40ac37250
    To hold this spin (and make it look straight) you HAVE to use your core, making this not only great for the upper body but abdominals as well. The first is a full Hold Spin (several revolutions) the second is a great place to start, just a small hop! Use whatever allows for best form! Please check out the lesson for more in-depth help!

    If using this as a strength builder perform 1-2 sets 3-15 reps BOTH directions, switching hand placement!

    Gena, I can’t believe how fast you’re progressing!

    Allyson, how can you say “with out much success” I’ve seen people who enter competitions who’s legs bend more!? Don’t be so hard on yourself, I’m guessing these are not things you work on every practice?

    No worries sunshine, the important thing about torso twist is trying to keep the hips from twisting too, while staying in your ROM.

    For everyone….Keeping the legs straight is super hard, and takes strength, flexibility and TONS of practice! If you want to improve leg lines in lifts the Lower Body routine will help! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e9d171-5724-43b2-8784-47960a9aa0eb

    Thanks guys! Don’t worry, I’m not bumming hard about bent legs. I don’t mind a tuck then BAM legs out, I think that looks cool too, and that’s mostly what I try and do at home. I think strength may have some role, but I’m going to blame my tight hammys too. 😜 I’ll work on it!
