“Grounded” aerial conditioning challenge with Cayley Cormier Day 4 of airotiques “grounded” aerial conditioning challenge is all about meathooks! We’re going to work out our obliques , shoulders and a little bit of legs to stay in shape and hopefully make that first meathook after two months a tiny bit less awful. Cross body leg lifts x20: as you lift both legs in the air, take a free arm from above your head and crunch forward as you reach across your chest. Alternate arms as you go. Shoulder push ups x20: start in a basic plank position. Push up and down using only your shoulder muscles , it should be a small movement. Candlesticks x15 each side: start on one knee, with your other leg straight in a wide stance. The arm that’s the same side as the bent knee will wrap around your ribs and touch your opposite side obliques. The other arm (same side as straight leg) will reach above your head. Lean your chest In the direction of the bent knees making sure your shoulders stay square with your hips. Lean over until you are unable to go further and slowly come back up. Oblique twists x30: sitting up with your legs in front of you, reach out both hands together in front of you. Twist side to side going as far as you can with control.MEATHOOK pathway leg lifts x15 each side: to most easily get in position start on your back with legs in the air. Pic a side to be your “hanging arm”. While keeping that arm towards the ceiling, pike your legs in the direction of the “hanging arm”. Your free arm , which is now the arm with the shoulder towards the ceiling, should reach above your head parallel to your body and the floor. Once in position slowly lift your top leg. EXTRA CREDIT!!! Take a photo or video of yourself doing a side plank (with or without top leg raised) the more creative the better!! ... See MoreSee Less
