🔥🔥 I’ve seen multiple people asking for this, and Im no exception. Any straddle sit hold alternatives & tips how to get there? I cannot detach my butt from the floor even a centimetre :D

Another great workout. My lack of wall space made me improvise but got it done 👐

Melissa

2nd set was heavy. But super nice exercises 👌🏼

Seems like one needs to have great hip mobility to do all of those wall assisted exercises. Was struggling a-lot, but still thats a great one

Darrian

Really fun! Shoulder’s definitely felt it at the end. Core wise - the tuck ups were a little too easy- changed it to toes to bar. Otherwise it was an awesome first workout.

Lindsey

Great toning, as always. Cannot handle those toe taps tho. Any ideas for an easier version until my mobility is there? :)

Fun workout but I struggled to find a good set up for the toe tap exercise. I’m also not able to perform a toe tap yet, I wonder if I should work on it separately as it comes up often in these workouts

No way I can get into that straddle holds 😂 not sure what to train before I get there. Awesome feeling overall :)

Aigerim

I 100% cannot lift this ass and legs for a straddle hold on the ground, but by golly did we do our best!

W1/D3

One of my favorites so far! Hits all the good spots! Feeling stronger and more aligned in my handstand after this one!

Jackie

Adriana Carlos

After these shoulder intensive two circuits I'm not even able to hold my handstand for 5 seconds 😔

Great thanks! If I’m struggling with holding my free standing handstand what would you suggest? Do I stick with repetition? 

Thanks in advance 🙏

W3/D3

The best advanced hs program I’ve ever had 👏🏼 Thank you!
And believe me, I have done many. 😅
