Inter 1 Day 27
Day 27. It’s time for the Elbowstand sit up, I love using this trick to get back up on the pole from off the floor. Remember this is your first time working with the sit up, so don’t stress if you don’t get it today. It’s possible you’ll need several more days or weeks for this move to click. Begin your workout today with The stands routine.
Elbow stand sit up Give this 5 tries.
Attitude climb 2-4 times, both sides
Chair spin 2-4 times, both directions
Figurehead 2-4 times, both sides
Shoulder stand pike stretch Hold for 5-20 seconds
Knee tuck Hold for 30-60 seconds
Shoulder clock stretch Move slowly through this 2 times, each side.
Over under stretch Hold for 10-30 seconds, remember to switch your hands.
Hi! The Elbow Stand Sit Up it’s quite difficult to me even if I can do the Elbow Stand. Maybe I do not understand something else as I slide down when I try to sit up. The best I can do (because my abs are strong enough) is quickly reach the pole with my hand and stand up before my bum is completely down on the floor. I’ve thought that maybe I’ve forgotten to turn the hips in order to lock the legs or maybe it depends on my shoulders that are not so strong: it’s not so easy for me releasing my head when I’m in Elbow Stand, I cannot do the forearm Stand even if I can do the normal Stand (with streight arms) from stand position against the wall… Thanks for your suggestions! 🙂
Without seeing you try (feel free to upload a video) I’d say most people’s problem with the sit up is not being strong enough to push through the shoulders, brining the head off the floor. It just means more training is needed. The stands routine helps with that.
I sort of almost got an elbow stand….I think? Or at least as close as Ive been. Problem is that I immediately did an accidental flip 😅
Yay, but also oops. It happens a LOT when learning. Tuck the chin and roll with it. lol
