    It's crazy how inflexible you realise your back is when you try to do these. That second one it's incredibly hard to get straight. Too much bodybuilding, not enough stretching.

    I loved this. I'm just approaching a bridge to work towards handstands. Basically bridge -> walk over, then slow down that walk over once strength is there.
    It's super cool that you said what you're working on. Makes it way more real as it shows you as a working athlete with real goals

    I thought myself to do this on first grade, now I can walk in that position. I can also do a lot of other things.
    Edit: If you feel like your arms are to week try doing cartwheels and stuff first so that your arms get used to holding up you body wait for a short amount of time, than try this.

      @geologick 3 года назад +1

      definitely true that if you don't use it you lose it. there are people running marathons well into their 80s, because they never took too much time off. it's like as soon as you take a break your body's like "oh, you're not using this part? must not need it then. commence deconstruction." i'm still struggling to get back to a good state of fitness after letting myself get soft during my first few years of college. i'd never been physically inactive before, so i didn't know how quick i'd lose it if i slowed down. now i have back problems and very low flexibility and endurance. i'm working my way back though, gonna get fighting fit and not wait until i graduate!

  • @taesbae5643
    @taesbae5643 5 лет назад

    Tip: lay on your back, hold someone ankles and lift your feet into the position. Then try to lift your back. After doing that and it doesn’t work, do a bridge normally but get someone to lift you and hold for 5 seconds or however long you can do it for, it will hurt at first but that’s a good thing and is telling you that you’re growing muscle and making your back flexible. Now do it again without support and keep in mind to straighten your elbows.

    well I never did a bridge before or seen it but I did it in my first attempt guess I was already flexible enough to do it. But people who can't do it just yet don't feel bad you aren't far off just stuck to what she said and I believe it'll be easy. And all the guys who say they can't do it because of weak arms or hands try getting them into a comfortable position it becomes easier and reduced the pressure on them. keep trying good luck😁
