flexagonDo five sun salutations to warm up.
Stolen from Crossfit:
With a continuously running clock or timer, do 1 pullup during the first 60 seconds, 2 pullups during the next 60 seconds, and so forth.
Break into sets as needed.
Go until you can't complete the needed number within one minute. Fail when n=7.
Experience strange aching in triceps. Try to figure out why. Decide it's because of trying to go behind doorframe instead of hitting head on it.
Timed L-sit: 13 sec again. Play around some more with keeping one leg bent, then the other.
Pretend to do a ball planche as toes remain stubbornly attached to the ground.
Use parallettes to practice yoga jump-throughs and jump-backs. Stop often to pet black cat, who is suddenly very interested in this part of the floor. Pretend to press handstand onto parallettes; succeed in making feet slide a little.
Do a few handstands on parallettes. Do 10 handstand pushups with the smallest range of motion ever seen. Ditch parallettes. Tuck up, but fail to get feet to wall. Fail to straddle up.
Use the ab wheel. Try ball planche again. Get closer. Try to figure out what's missing.

Date: 2006-12-16 05:25 pm (UTC)I can't QUITE get my arms straight. To be able to do that would be to totally get the knees' weight off the arms, which would be pretty ball-planchy except (according to my yoga teachers), to do this you elevate your butt more and are closer to a hs position. the ball planche pictures i've seen, it looks like hips are supposed to be at the same level as the shoulders.
not sure but I think I'm missing whatever it takes (hamstring strength when already contracted?) to get the calf in tight against the thigh when gravity wants to pull it away.
