Kate I do planks with my students a lot so I’ve obviously built it up without realising!! With my more advanced students we do a 30sec plank followed by a shorter 15sec one AND I have 5 classes a week so I’ve had lots of practice lol!!!

Hey Jbrint!! For a nice transition to air shouldermount I do a figurehead from a full bracket pencil hold, you twist your body in towards your bottom arm so the transition Is a kind of ariel spin, once your in the figurehead you can then shouldermount! It’s my fave at the moment! If your interested I can post up a video! X
Keep working on that superman though!! What way are you going into it? There’s a way from a flatline Scorpio which I personally find a lot easier -
haha! some of these are really funny!
my pet/street is very boring! Khaleesi Woodland!

Oooooooo what a great blog!!!
Yes!!! I can agree with this!! In the end I guess it comes down to the control, if a student is engaging the right muscles, using the correct techniques and hand/leg placements, a bit of momentum isn’t going to really hurt?
-
Reading the handbook again, it’s clear to ME that the studio wants it students doing inverts in a controlled way but from my experience this isn’t always how it’s taught to them
-
Yes it was me!!
I’m just assuming they are not against the kicking as it’s in the beginners level 2 syllabus and the ‘prep’ is controlled kicks into tucks etc but I’m of the personal opinion that unless a student is particularly strong they aren’t going to be ready to invert after a weekly hour lesson for 12 weeks….most come from no exercise background at all!!!Obviously everyone is different but yeah.
In our handbook the invert prep states not to use momentum to swing upside down but also says, swing and kick the outside leg up and followed by the inside, allow the body to swing back etc etc it also says though to engage your arms and pull yourself upside down so it’s in a way very contradictory!
I think it comes down to the individual instructor, you should be able to spot when a person is performing ‘kicks’ in a controlled manner or not, I mean… I don’t dead lift every time I invert!!! I use a bit of a swing sometimes but I know that I’m fully engaged and in control of my movement.So I dont fully agree with the no kicking I just think all students shoul be ready and taught to be in control, many a times I’ve taken over a class or covered for some one and their ‘intermediate’ girls are swinging all over the place and are just not safe inverting but are still expecting me to teach them the Gemini or butterfly lol I’m like ….. Errrrrrrrr!! Let’s do some spins!!
