hey guys am i doing these half cartwheels right
if I am not doing them right I will keep faking it until I am making it. I am working on these on the studioveena lessons but I cant seem to bring my hips closer to my elbow. I can hold each position for like 5 sec sometimes 10 sec. and my grip is amazing using the twisted grip. id love to get my legs all the way up straight. ive been working on it for 25 mins and no improvment

Try looking down and make sure you are engaging your upper arm and not hanging so you can pull with your upper arm and push with your lower arm while engaging your core to lift and tilt your pelvis up if that makes sense.

Hey there, my first suggestion would be to not use the twisted grip, the lessons here are based on using a split grip. When using a twisted grip (if you must) there should be know kicking of the legs to get into the position. I know using a Twisted grip make the move “feel” easier or more stable, however it can over time cause injury.

Well congrats! Hope everything works out! Sure you wont miss this weather? lol

Yea the twisted grip certainly felt easier and I was kicking into it but not as much as the split grip. Ive been working on the split grip but I feel awkward now and my body is falling all over and I feel like im gonna hurt myself. When I first practice I did the split grip and was getting up into the move here and there but now I cant do it. I will keep practicing

Oh I also forgot to mention that a half cartwheel is about mounting the pole and hooking a heal on the pole. One heel should be on the pole.

I was going to ask to see a video, because I also think of half cartwheel as coming up to a heel hook and I was so confused. lol
