Mantra: Strive for progress, not perfection
Tips: Let's talk about why we sweep with the outside leg instead of the inside. It's not going to hurt you if you lead with the inside leg; however, it does put you at risk of smashing your toes on the pole and, most importantly, it doesn't provide a secure grip into a crucifix or outside leg hang because you end up with the wrong leg reaching the pole first. I also want to remind you not to worry about the "straddle" chopper position until you become stronger and the step and sweep method is automatic. This is covered in my V invert (chopper) tutorial.
Question: Which day was more challenging for you? Yesterday's upper body work or today?
Homework: Today I want you to write down what you think would happen if you were never able to invert. Then sit and think about whether the story you're telling yourself is true. No matter the conclusion, write down what makes this story true or not true.
If you need to pause the video at any time to practice more or have a look at a related tutorial to learn more tips for an exercise or trick, go for it.
Here's a list of direct links for some of the more challenging tricks, exercises and stretches used.
