#funconventionalchallenge

Day 7️⃣ of May #Funconventionalchallenge is a Pistol Squat (supported Pistol Squat) which is something I’m not good at… Well I can’t do it. PERIOD! 👉🏾💥Note: the second side 😂😂😂 Tendency of most people is to say “ok I’m not good at it so then don’t do it.” I’ve decided that it’s a skill I want to have. There are many reasons why I can’t do a Pistol Squat… There are many reasons why a person can’t do things in general. Most of the time it’s because we don’t practice them. You’re never too old to learn a new skill or master a new movement. Keep opening doors to challenge. Keep growing and learning. When you stop moving, you’re likely dead or dying and I’m trying to LIVE IT UP!! So I’m demonstrating 2 supported Pistol Squat Variations. One using the Lebert Equalizer @lebertfitness and the other using a TRX @trxtraining for #TRXTuesday. #Follow @flowwithaj for Friday's challenge Variation 1: Lebert Equalizer 1️⃣Start in a tall position holding the Lebert with one hand. 2️⃣Lift one leg and descend as deep as you can go on one leg. Find your sticking point and work to get stronger there before going deeper. Variation 2: TRX 3️⃣Hold gently on the TRX (as little as possible). 4️⃣Lift one leg and begin to descend. Find the depth that you can go to and work to get strong there. TIP: If you cannot lift from the depth you reach, support yourself a little more with the arms or use the other leg as a crutch. #XodusMoveMore #XodusFitness #suspensionexercises @suspensionexercises

DAY 1 of the May Bodyweight focused #FunconventionalChallenge is a Leg Thread Progression Challenge. #Follow @ajevofit for Day 2 Instructions. Post a video of yourself and tag it #FunconventionalChallenge Tag friends and ask them to try it and challenge themselves. THE CHALLENGE: (5 Mins of Flow) We move from Leg Thread progressions to the highest level progression which is known in #AnimalFlow as Jumping Side Kick Through. Flow through each Level of movement up to the movement you can successfully accomplish. *Note: For Level 2 if palms cannot remain flat on the floor as you thread then this is the progression you should work to master before continuing to higher levels. INSTRUCTIONS & LEVELS: Start in a Quadrupedal Position. This position is also known in Animal Flow as Beast. Externally rotate at the shoulders, corkscrewing the shoulders into the socket and turning the elbow crease forward. Level 1: Rotation with foot to ankle Level 2: Rotation with leg thread (Palms flat) Level 3: Side Kickthrough Level 4: Side Kickthrough and then jump to side kickthrough WHY IS THIS GOOD FOR ME? This move challenges your closed and open chain rotation through the torso as well as cross core stability and shoulder strength. #XodusMoveMore #XodusFitness #coachrt3 (at San Francisco, California)
