Some nice gainers

Probably the coolest flash gainer tutorial I've seen so far!



Flash



Reverse

Motivation is everything

Wall flip:



Cheat Gainer:

Anti-stiffness campaign...

Well, I'm not very flexible to say the least but recently it has started to feel almost ok. Only static stretching so far but with the aid of Flashmavi I have started to look at dynamic stretching at least for the legs. This will take time for sure, hehe!

The targets

After some deep thoughts about what is possible to do, it is time to be a bit down to earth... Target for first half of 2009 is to do at least two of the following:

• Wall flip
• Moon kick
• B-twist

The moon kick is something for itself but technically the easiest version is more about doing it than about difficulty, nice tutorial here:

Small step for me...

Today I finally managed to get close to a controlled handstand, will be highest priority for the next few weeks.

In the meantime, the wall flip below is the first real target for 2009, to be completed before end of May - I need to overcome the backwards fear though. No problem on the trampoline, bad on ground...



Nice sampler of all the things I want to do :):

Do SOMETHING every day

The only way for me to get somewhere is to do something every single day. The first three months focus will be on basic training, no fun. Stretching is mandatory and the rest is more or less based on which parts of the body that feels OK...

Tried some cartwheeling this week but I'm just too weak and stiff sideways so to make it possible to practice I just use the open style from capoeira - overview here:
