miss_marissa Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Soooo... goals are a thing. Same format as last challenge, but incorporating a few things learned from camp. Specifically: Hand, wrist, elbow mobility: handstands and benching just tear my fucking wrists up and I really need work on strengthening them. I learned some good stuff in Kate G's classes and looking forward to implementing. Feet stuff: again... Kate mentioned something about feet in her "How to Human Better" class and how our feet have three arches and when we don't treat our feet good, we lose those arches, which leads to weak glutes, which leads to knee cave. lightbulb. So yea... working on my feet needs to happen Jim gave some super awesome cues for handstands in his inversions class. I definitely want to dedicate some practice to this, it will also help with my core strength for lifting. (Only 1x for week 1 since I'm already halfway through it) I went to Amy's "Rise above emotional eating" class where she gave us some tips to do a small meditation before each meal. I think this will definitely benefit me. There are other things I want to work on too, but I don't want to get burned out so I'm starting here.

By actively, she means by moving the joint and not by pulling on it. She is also all about spending time barefoot.

It obviously won't have the same effect of being in the class, but it will give you a start. Day 1.4 Squats on Wednesday were absolutely brutal due to the post-camp exhaustion and still catching up. Front squats for 95x5 were way tougher than they should have been. Also, first time using the safety squat bar, which is... just weird. Yesterday I had a mindful moment before lunch. Gymnastics last night and took it pretty easy. Did tumble track most of the time, roundoff back-handsprings and starting to figure out how a back tuck works. Bars, pullovers and then squat-ons to high bar where I did three successfully. Next step is to do it out of a cast. Also a single flyaway into the pit where I landed on my head. That needs practice.
