Day 30 Invert
I hope you’re feeling stronger and more confident in your skills. As you’ve now reached the end of this program there are two things I want you to keep in mind: Not every pole move is right for everyone, and There is so much more to pole than inverting. However, if you set your mind on a goal and put in the effort to work towards it you’ll get there, so don’t give up if inverts are a dream and you have yet to achieve it.
Today begin with the Pole strength routine or the Express warm up
Floor invert Starts at minute 2:20 (You only need to work on this if you are not yet ready to invert from standing.)
Thank you for going on this journey with me!
Love this series, I can’t tell the difference between my good side and my “dorkside” anymore! Can’t wait to try the 30 days to Caterpillar to keep building on the momentum.
That’s great to hear!!!
Finally finished! I also saw significant improvement on my bad side. I also can’t wait to try the 30 days to caterpillar!!!
Congratulations!!!!! And that’s great to hear 💜
Day 30 for me! Also excited to move on to the caterpillar program, or maybe focus on flexibility for a while. I learned how my flexibility (or lack of it!) affects the grace of my invert, and want to work on that. This is a great program! I love having a daily plan to keep myself accountable, and I feel like I have a much better understanding now!
Congrats!!! 🎉
So proud, I have finally finished a full 30 days! I can’t wait to start the caterpillar program. I wanted to ask, would it be sensible to start it after summer if I go away or could you come back to it?
Are you asking if you can start the caterpillar program right away after summer or if you need to do the invert program first? If so, that would depend on if you kept working out over summer, if you did then yes you can just move on to the caterpillar program. If you are inactive you might want to start with the last two weeks of the take off program then caterpillar.
Veena… your invert program has made my invert so strong that I’m scraping my feet across my low ceiling! XD Prior to the program I remember thinking: “gee, I have so much room!” Now I’m tuck inverting to make sure I don’t go too high. I’m debating doing the flexy program or the shoulder mount program next. I can’t thank you enough for creating this awesome resource! 🙂
Hi Veena, I can invert now, and I should be over the moon, but I’m a little sad coming to the end of this 30 day course.. It’s like reading the last chapter of a great book that one doesn’t want to end. I love your teaching ðŸ˜Å
Awe! I’ve got more to come 🙂
Hurraaaaaay! This was a great journey! My strenght and control improved dramatically. My bad side is now as good as my good side was in the beginning and I was able to do a couple of aerial inverts in a row on my good side. I have never been able to do that before!
I remember how much I struggled trough the pole strenght routine (knee tucks – ugh!) at the beginning of this 30 days and how weird the scapula exercises felt. Today it’s still not a piece of cake but very well managable.
I also gained a whole lot of confidence and awareness on how my body works,in those 30 days.
Thank you so much Veena!
That’s so exciting to hear! Awesome!
I did this program to help with aerial inverts. It has definitely improved but still inconsistent. I can’t do them everytime and it’s not what I’d call pretty. Would you recommend doing the 30 day invert a second time through to continue working on this or is there something else you recommend? Thanks
Are you trying to Aerial invert on static or spin or both?
Both. I am definitely more consistent on static, which I only got about a week or so ago. I fatigue quickly but was able to do a couple on each side. Next session ( few days later I couldn’t even do 1). I am also ok on backwards spin from the ground but haven’t achieved forwards spin yet .
Ok, so yes if you feel like doing the Invert program again that would help. Know that is really normal to have a trick disappear after getting it, it happens with everything we humans learn. It’s part of how our brains process new things.
Since you can already invert and your focus is aerial add V sit compressions https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/v-sit-compressions-970/?no_frame=1 and work on the Side pole hold (Invert grip) using the Forearm side hold starting at minute 3:52 https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/side-pole-hold-invert-grip-842/
Do both of these at the END of your training session so you’re already a bit tired – Do 2 sets or 2-8 reps for the V sit and Hold as long as you can, both sides 2 times. Make sure to keep rest days!
I suggest “favoriting” these videos so you can find them quickly.
Replace the listed warm up with the Ball core workout https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/ball-core-workout-live-lesson-1142/
Replace the listed warm up with the Stop the micro bend routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/ball-core-workout-live-lesson-1142/
You can mix these routines up into your sessions as the warm up however you like, so basically do either of these instead of the listed warm up.
Does that make sense?
It makes perfect sense! Thankyou so much for your advice on this and providing a tailored approach. Looking forward to starting over and nailing this.
You can always share a video link (here) or to me on my social media, showing your entry to the aerial invert and I can help you troubleshoot even more.
Sorry I missed this. I likely will do this at some point. Thankyou!
