Hey there Radovan! Here’s your goal focused program. KILL IT!
Once you have mastered this kata, send me a video to “level up.” Then we will decide which next level element to put you in!
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
Description: Go into a middle split with your hands on the floor. Try to stack your shoulders under your hips as much as you can. Lift up onto your toes and hold for 5 seconds.
Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps
Description: This move starts in a tall plank position with your feet close to the wall. As you walk your hands backwards towards the wall, walk your feet up the wall. Use your core to keep your lower back from arching.
Goal: 10 reps
Extra Notes: Give yourself time between reps so you don’t get a headache or dizzy. Your body will get more use to inverting with practice.
Description: This move starts in kneeling with feet tucked under hips with tops of feet touching the ground. Rings above head in height. Holding rings pull-up to lift body off ground with feet last to leave the ground to then transition to dip position. Complete the movement by extending elbow fully. Then transition to dip and return to kneeling position.
Goal: 5 Rounds, 10 reps
I know you will likely need to bend your knees a little here but you can still be working on the motion. 🙂
Description: This move starts sitting on the ground, legs straight, feet pointed. Then, with no momentum, lean forward, and use your core and triceps to lift as powerfully as possible to lift your bottom.
Focus on holding your core tight to keep a rounded posture to support your back and your shoulders forward.
Goal: 5 Rounds, 10 reps per round
Extra Notes: You might not hit 10 reps every round or even do all 5 rounds, that’s ok! It may start small but will build each week to continue to maximize your gains. You got this!
Description: Start sitting with legs spread wide into a split position. Place hands between legs flat onto the ground. Working to keep the hands flat on the ground, contract your core to cause your pelvis to tilt backwards causing your legs to lift off the ground.
*You will need to be sure to hold a strong quad contraction and to point your toes to help the quads to maximally engage.*
Goal: 4 rounds of 5 reps.
Extra Notes: You might not hit 5 reps every round or even do all 4 rounds, that’s ok! It may start small but will build each week to continue to maximize your gains. You got this!
Description: Start by standing 1-2 feet away from the wall. Lean back as far as you can to bridge against the wall. The goal is to eventually have your hands flat against the wall and start walking your hands down. Eventually this will progress to a full bridge.
Goal: 20 reps
Extra Notes: If you get dizzy doing this exercise, keep your eyes on the ceiling the whole time. Don’t look back at the wall quite yet. This exercise also trains your inner ear to get used to inverting.
Description: Start lying on your back then push up to a bridge position. Shift your weight towards your hands allowing your shoulders to open.
Goal: 10 attempts
*If you get dizzy, keep your neck up to where your eyes looking at the ceiling.*
Description: Start standing with hands on a surface waist height or higher. Then walk feet backwards and bend at hips to allow the shoulders to open. Hold position for a count of 5-10
*Focus to ensure that your back doesn’t arch and the movement comes from your shoulders.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Description: This move starts in standing. You will then place 1 leg on a raised surface causing your entire shin bone to be supported on the surface with the shin crossing your body. You will then lean forward causing an increase in stretch to the hip area.
***Be sure that the leg is fully supported by the surface. This move should be done on a couch, bed or some other wide surface that will allow your leg to be fully supported.

***Extra Notes: Radovan, I know you will not be nearly this flexible. I wanted to include another difficult mobility exercise for you to push yourself towards. Have fun! 🙂 ***
Description: This stretch begins seated with the bottoms of your feet together. Bring your feet in close to your body. Use your elbows or hands to push your knees down towards the floor.
Goal: 15 second holds x 5 reps
Extra Notes: If you feel a pinch deep in your hip joint or lower back, stop the stretch and let Bethany know. 🙂
Description: This move starts by lying on your back with your legs straight. You will then lift 1 leg at a time doing circles with that leg being sure to keep the circles even and not rotating your hips away from the ground to compensate for any tightness
