Day 23 Take Off
Today you get to choose any of the stretching methods you’d like to work with. Passive, Active, Movement or Resistance. If you choose passive stretching hold for 30 seconds for 3 sets. For all other methods do 10 Reps or less. One more thing, please understand I don’t expect you to achieve a full Bridge/wheel or a full Camel, choose a variation for your level of flexibility.
omg i cant do any of those variations of bridge
I can offer alternatives if you explain what’s going on.
Hello Veena
I just don’t have enough strength to get my head or chest off the floor
I had a really good laugh at myself when you showed the easier alternatives and then said tada omg lol
It’s normal to not have the strength for this yet. When something more challenging or new is presented in the programs, think of it as an introduction to new movements. I never expect people to be able to do everything right away. Which is why it’s important to video your first attempts or at least write it down. This will allow you to see progress.

I’ve got to admit when I saw what today was, I nearly skipped it but the easiest versions and yoga blocks made things doable, thanks for the beginner versions
This is a very challenging day for a lot of ppl but I’m glad the alternatives worked!
done done!
Done! To my surprise I managed to do a half bridge and the camel stretch with blocks (without hurting my back, yay!). Your finger spreading tip really helped me get into the half bridge, but it was still really hurting my wrists. Should I just work more on strengthening them?
That’s great. If you feel pain in the wrists increase range of motion is usually what’s needed. Using this video 3 times a weeks should help https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/wrist-strength-and-mobility-drill-866/
Thank you, I’ll add this to my routine!
You’re welcome
