ALEX HSIEH GOAL FOCUSED PROGRAM

Hey there Alex!  Here’s your goal focused program. KILL IT!

~ PRESS HANDSTAND AND HAND BALANCING ~

PIKE PUSH UPS

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 push ups.

FROG HANDSTAND PROGRESSION

Description: Start with hands flat on the floor. Walk feet near hands and lean knees against bent elbows. Lean forward to increase weight on hands then lift the legs to balance. Maintain that forward lean with hips stacked over your hands and shoulders and then lift 1 leg up off the elbows and return with control

Do Pancake stretch to get warmed up 🙂

SHOULDER STRETCH WITH TOWEL

Then with the other arm you will reach behind your back for the towel. Work your hands towards each other using the towel as a guide to bring them closer together. When you have reached as closely together as you can, use the upper hand to pull the towel slightly up to give an extra stretch to the lower hand behind your back.

Then slide your legs out to the side, straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your hips up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.

Goal: 3 reps with 30 seconds of pulsing

WALL SPLIT
