Remi

It does get better though. :)

wait until you try the remi extreme ;)

oooo remi extreme ❗ what's that?

Is the Remi Extreme the same as the Remi Backbend?  If so, there's a picture of it in my profile.

Ah...I'd been working on the Remi the past couple of days...man..the top of my feet feet are totally bruised!! ~>_<~

I think they're calling the "Remi Extreme" the Remi Bridge now.  🙂

Remi exteme would be arching your back and grabbing the pole over your head?

@Brumby- yes. Check out RikiL's pics- she has an awesome one that shows this move perfectly. 😉

Sorry to revive this post, but does the pain actually get better with time? Because the pole is against your ankle bone, isnt it?

If you are doing this move correctly, all the pressure should be against the back of the thigh of the high leg - NOT your ankle. Your ankle will touch the pole but won't be bearing any real weight.

Oh okay, I adjusted my position a bit and now it doesnt hurt at all! Thanks!

Glad to help!

remi sit freaking KILLS!  i am going to try doing it with more weight against that top thigh, becuase it does not feel right having alll that weight on my ankle :(

I think what fixed it for me was really hooking the pole into my knee, and that transferred all the weight to my thigh and bottom ankle would just be..there. I hope that was correct. Except after a couple practices, now I'm not quite sure how to position myself to allow my knee to get a good hook on the pole. I can hold myself away and hook my top leg, but then when i swing my other leg to cross over, I lose it, and the pole ends up between my top calf and my bottom ankle, which was causing me the pain in the first place.
