Tracy Anderson Omnicentric Continuity Year 1 1.1.3 Day 161-170 Question

yahoo205 · 03-04-14, 11:25 AM

I did this for the first time yesterday and that move where you balance on your head is impossible for me, as is the single arm plank with kicking the foot out. Any tips on these moves?

The head balancing I figured out to actually turn around so I could still see the tv while doing the move. And the single arm plank just comes with practice. Modify and work up to it. You may have to take longer on the level.

I thought the move where you stand on your head was an injury waiting to happen so I modified by supporting my weight on my hands only and doing more of a standing split move. It's one of the rare exercices I modified.
And I agree with Scbayless that the single arm plank comes with practice - as with many TA moves, I find it's a question of finding your balance in that position. Good luck!

I haven't done this wo in a long time. Is the one where you balance on your head similar to the start of a head stand? If so, then that's what I thought of and in this case, you do have your hands to help with balance.

Yes. It just feels like too much pressure on my head.

It seems like for the single arm plank I will have to get my balance right (in addition to increased strength). It seems that she is slightly rotated.

I should try modifying to standing split. I don't like the feeling of pressure on my head.

With a little Cathe sprinkled in for good measure.
