#pullupprogression

Adding some pull-up practice into my core day circuits as I’m trying to do them 3 times a week. Need to work on that swing though and getting my chest closer to the bar. I feel like I say that in ever video haha. I also tried pull-ups with smaller band and it doesn’t look pretty, but this is what I used to look like when I was doing it with the bigger band, so I’m hopeful I’ll improve if I keep working at it. Leg raises are feeling better but that flexibility is making my L shape look a little drunk. So much to work on, 100% up for the challenge. . 🎬1: pull-ups, leg raises (followed by weighted leg raises not filmed) 🎬2: first attempt at smaller band - for future comparison 🤓 . . . #crossfit #crossfitgirls #pullups #pullupprogression #chinups #calisthenics #puregym #legraises #workoutmotivation #strongwomen #girlswhoworkout (at York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwolOxGFFj-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ca1u1hbmlc13

🙌🏻8 weeks calisthenics progression!🙌🏻 It’s been 8 weeks since I started adding a calisthenics session into my program and wow, it’s been slow and tough. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, I’m heavy so chin-ups and pull-ups are going to be hard for me, my short term goal is to be able to do a set of 8 chin-ups using the resistant band, I can get around 4ish now. I have two smaller resistance bands to move onto when I can do more on my thick one!Anyway, here are the videos: 🎬1: Negative chin-up today 🎬2: Negative chin-up 8 weeks ago 🎬3: Leg raises 🎬4: 8 push ups . . . It took me so long to be able to hold myself above the bar and control my negatives more, so I’m happy with this! I also can’t believe I managed to do leg raises, I tried in week 1 and couldn’t get my legs up AT all so was doing knee-raises instead. I tried today for the first time since then and did 3 sets of 8 reps (though my second and third sets were much harder and my knees were more bent!) I need to work on my flexibility more now to get my legs straight, going to start practicing holding it and eventually doing fluter kicks! I’m really excited about this as I didn’t think I’d be able to do one, never mind 8! When I first started doing this workout, I was doing the pushups on a step-up box, I’ve started doing them without and my depth has improved a lot! My dips also still need some work on that full range of motion, I can’t get low enough without a band to help me. . . . I’m happy with my progress and can’t believe how much stronger my core has gotten over the past few months! I’ll update again in 4 weeks. Happy Sunday! . . . #pressups #pullupprogression #ukfitnessblogger #dailyfitnessmotivation #gymflow💪 #strongwomenrule #calisthenics #puregym #trainlikeagirl #trainlikeabeast #sweatpink #instafitfam #bodyconfidence #bodyweightraining #calisthenicsworkout #calisthenicscommunity #calisthenicsmovement #pushingmyself #noexcuses #motivation #gymaddict #functionalfitness #functionaltraining #noexcuseses #challengeyourself #fitnessmotivation #workhard #ukfitfam #sweatpink #thisgirlcan (at York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv89akpFZYS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1krgi5y4rmp54

My biggest aim for this year is to achieve a strict pull up. To try and help me do that I do 3x3 negatives three times a week after my CrossFit sessions. This video is my very last rep so not the best, as the rest wasn't in focus, oops. . . . Also should have put the camera closer, double oops. . . #fitness #negativepullup #pullupprogression #progress #crossfit
