Get Fit For Friday's Challenge of the Week ~ Inversions
We spend almost 100% of our time using our lower body (and core) to hold ourselves up every day. To follow with the week's focus on switching things up, we challenge you to incorporate 3 sets of an inversion of your choice throughout today allowing your upper body to take over for a change. We know everyone is at a different fitness level and have different inversion practices. We caution everyone to take this challenge with a grain of salt and modify as needed. If you know you cannot do a freestanding handstand, please do not make today the day you try it. Work at your level and if you enjoy inversions, start to work your way up to advanced poses.
Example inversion variations: Hand stand, head stand, shoulder stand, forearm stand (any of these can be done with feet against the wall) or L-position against the wall.
